Indeed. We used to run from Horspath Athletics Track for pre-season training there when I was playing Sunday football. The sandy path up into Shotover when coming from Brasenose Wood was not pleasant. I remember the coach making us all run up it without stopping the 1st session there, we did it 11 or 12 times which was a killer as if anybody stopped we all did it again. We were the fittest team I reckon in the Lg, pity we weren't very good.
