Our first-ever WAWA event was focused on a hill repeats workout that we did on Queens Road West.  We started at the bottom of the hill, and ran up to the top where QRW intersects into Queens Road……back down again….rinse and repeat!

This week, we’re focused on “running” so I’m taking us back to that dreaded hill for another visit….or, should I say, multiple visits!  This week is a relatively simple workout….just tough!

You can do this!
