Hi - I moved to Oxford and am having trouble finding any decent hills nearby to train on (e.g. repeats to help prep for trail races in the mountains). I have access to a small gym with a treadmill that goes up to 12.5 but that's boring and limited...
So far I've been to Wytham Woods, which is close and generally nice but not great in terms of hills. Online sleuthing suggests Wittenham Clumps, Badbury Hill, and Shenlow Hill all 30-45 min drive. Does anybody know any of these and/or can recommend anything better less than an hour away?
What about in the 1.5-2 hr range? Above 2 hours there is Brecon Beacons and then plenty of options, but I'm struggling to find anything halfway reasonable and am hoping I'm missing something. Thanks very much in advance!
