Medium and slow pack runs.
Organised by Victoria University Harriers
Simplistically elegant: you race up, you race back down.
Calves will burn, lungs will cry for air, that voice will say stop, don’t look up, the turnaround can’t be far now, surely?
Then brain off, legs on, knees will be hammered, quads will burn, you’ll fly, fall, roll your way back to whence you began.
So DO NOT enter, it’s far too dangerous.
