For most of my runs, I opt to run in my neighborhood. It's actually a pretty large subdivision and offers plenty of hills. I'll be the first to admit that as someone who doesn't do a lot of running, it might not be the greatest of ideas to try and take on a tough course. Even better, I can take a route and end up finishing in roughly the same place even if the distances change.
The longer the run, the more hills I take on. Last time I ran 5 miles, I ended up climing over 500 feet.
I like to believe that if I can train and handle these hills just fine, it'll just make running a flatter race even easier. Certainly, barring any setbacks, my first race only climbs about 850 feet. I feel like I'll be well on my way to pushing through that race with little to no problems.
