Distance or elevation or both?

Right, next 1/2 is in less than 4 weeks, 3 weekends = 3 long runs - do I concentrate on distance or elevation? Blackdowns had 1700ft elevation, Quantocks as 1000 more at 2700 ish ft - obviously I had a plan…..it involved running that elevation & hitting 13.1+ miles during august but naughty foot stopped that - now I have limited time & I don’t know what’s best to do - try to hit elevation and worry less about the distance, do the reverse & concentrate on hitting miles or try to make sure all 3 long runs are hilly & 1/2 marathon distance - problem is, I know that i will be shattered if I tick all the boxes, ot will be a shock to the body as not built up - it might do more harm than good 😕 - there’s just not enough time now to train properly -

@Sunny Durman

what do you think?

Unless I try hilly shorter runs during the week (8 ish miles) and moderately hilly long run on the weekend 🤷‍♀️

Started to suffer from the cold as drugs wore off towards the end but I survived
