- If I lived near any hills, most my training would be on hills. Unfortunately we don't have many in the midlands and the ones we do have aren't very steep. At the start of any training block or after injury I utilise the one steep hill we do have that happens to be directly out from the yard. I don't want to do too many sessions in the school a week, so in the winter this is an ideal alternative as our hacking isn't very night time friendly from the yard.
I also really love doing this as I have to walk up and down the hill too, so it's exercise for both of us. It's only a 400m incline but we go up and down a few times and it takes about 40minutes before we're both on the sweaty side.
I do this once a week for 6 weeks, then I add some trot pole work after or I start running up and walking down. After about 12 weeks, I have more daylight hours after work, and I swap this session for a ridden one of trailering out to somewhere for a decent hack.
I also find that doing non-ridden work is easier for me when I'm not feeling motivated. I don't have to groom, I don't have to tack up, there's very little prep, it doesn't take very long and it gives me some exercise too. I don't usually struggle with getting sessions done but when it's mainly dark and wet it's good to have something easy to achieve.
She’s looking fab 😍
Oh, that last bit in the stable really shows how hi vis you really are! Big fan of your winter kit!
"Why are you galloping like a mad woman?" 😂 Great job getting it done!! I'm an ultra runner, currently training for a 100k and possibly a 100 miler. This is the last year before my 4 year old is ready for more work, and becomes my priority, so I'm pushing for the big stuff this year while I still have time. Working 2 jobs, 60 hours a week, means that any week I can get all of my training sessions in is a fantastic week, order be damned! 😆
Oh good luck with your training and 🤞 you get to achieve your 100k! X
