thanks all for the Hill terminology clarification. Who'd have thought it actually meant a hill.
I live in Bermondsey, near enough to the river so the nearest hill I can think of is Denmark Hill in Camberwell. The car park in Peckham doesn't have ramps open all the way to the top anymore since it reopened as Peckham levels, as there are studios and workspaces on the first to third or fourth floors. The stairs are narrow and wouldn't be suitable for running up and down as they're busy.
Can I substitute sprints for the hills?
I've looked for a half marathon training plan for people living in flat areas, can't find anything specific. My google-fu isn't so hot right now though.
