High Altitude Training

Today for track practice the distance running team went to a place called Chipinque. It's a conservation park on one of the mountains close to TEC. In fact you can see it from my residence. After driving close to the top of the mountain we got out and ran two circuits of a 9km trail over some pretty rough terrain... and yes it was hilly, it was on the side of a mountain. It was my favourite run yet. There were some fantastic parts where we were running right at the edge of the mountain and the trail was only wide enough to run in single file. Apparently we run here almost every week!

P.S. I think I've fixed the commenting so that everyone can leave comments now. Try it out! I'd love to hear from people.
