Most of the times people use bridges for hill training but in my town we don't even have a bridge to run up :) On the other side it also means most race in Holland are flat. I have to use strength training for stronger legs.<br /><br />I don't do resolutions anymore either for the same reasons as you. I have set high goals in the past years that I never met at the end of the year. This year I set goals I can actually reach, feels so much better.

When you live somewhere pancake flat you really appreciate every hill you can get! I definitely prefer uphills to downhills though; at least your body doesn't fall far going uphill so your rescuers will know where to find it.

I am not known for fear on the descents but I do train for it specifically. We have to work at being stronger and actually more badass. But we are also a lot more fragile now than 20 years ago.
