Hills, hills and more hills

Yesterdays feedback from my Garmin showed I had climed over 1,000 ft in 11 miles so today I went 16 miles with another 1,00ft climb. The hills are important in preparation for MdS. All the feedback I have had is that you can't climb enough hills before you go to the desert. Obviously it's not the same, running on tarmac and in 10 degrees but in the UK there aren't any other options. My main focus is on running 2 back to back ultra marathons in 3 weeks time but staying injury free in the meantime. The following month I will be in Morocco for 4 days training which will give me some heat exposure but come April it will be a lot warmer. So more hills on the horizon but a couple of days off running to let my legs recover.
