This week our challenge at GG Bath was to include some hill sprints into our fitness routines. The challenge was to go for a run and find a hill (not too hard in Bath!) to sprint up it as fast as you can for 10s, 10 times over. So overall you would be sprinting uphill for 100s. No mean feat!

Although lots of us regularly run, sprinting is something that most of us never do, so its a great way to push our body outside of its comfort zone and increase our fitness levels.

We had entries from runners completing their challenge all over Bath and it was great to see the images sent into the WhatsApp group. This helped motivate me to get out there and do my sprints and I know other runners benefited from the support from the GG Bath community, so thanks to everyone who engaged.

After feeling the benefits of these hill sprints (I was worn really quickly, I slept really well and I ached in ways I don't usually ache from running) I am going to start including hill sprints into my regular training - are you?

This week the challenge is another fun scavenger hunt, but with a twist! I look forward to seeing your entries!
