  Anton B. asked:

  Hi guys , was wondering if someone could give me some suggestions. Whilst doing the Spartan Sprint / Super / Beast races i saw a lot of OCR teams. Whenever i talked to them, they seemed to be from the South (outside London) or members of some big gym doing it as a group. Does anyone know of any dedicated OCR teams based in London, ideally in South East London? Looking to join a group of individuals who train and race together, ideally the training is done outdoors in like parks or something as opposed to being inside a gym. Perhaps a running group or something? I've tried googling " OCR / Obstacle Course Racing team London " but didn't really come across anything other than just the major blogs about races etc. EDIT: to clarify on the gym part - have my own gym set up and as such wouldn't want to spend money on doing same thing somewhere else unless its a dedicated OCR set up with obstacle imitations like high walls etc

  Michelle F. asked:

  I am training for Man vs Mountain (amongst other things) and was wondering if anyone has any tips for hill training without hills!!?! I had a good 15k run yesterday but the longest incline I could find was less the 1k!!

  

  Michael C. replied:

  Michelle it's Coach Michael here. Hill Running is all about economy and Technique. Most importantly it is about breaking down your Technique by looking at your posture, lean and stride. Then there is the arms cadence. At least that for starters. Distance and asked come into play once you have built on the Technique. Then hills become fun, enjoyable, less effort and you don't burn out your quads. If you want more details on Natural Running Training visit www.wildforestgym.com
