As luck would have it, the weather is getting worse just as I further increase my outdoor training. I now run twice a week, always including a hill (normally Sandown Park, near my workplace). Then I walk about 8 miles each weekend, again searching for hills!
At this stage in any training I recall a champion runner's mantra: "The will to win is nothing without the will to prepare". One of the joys of running for me is the knowledge that you've mentally overcome the body's natural resistance to sustained hard exertion. I believe willpower is like a muscle - it improves with training. And from what people are telling me, getting up Kilimanjaro will need plenty of willpower...
