I jumped on the ladder train tonight and had a great workout. The objective was to complete the fast sections. I never felt out of control or that I dipped into "the well" so it was a success for a first time doing something like this. I look forward to making it faster next time.

Are you doing this on the treadmill, or outside on your run?

On the TM at Gold's after work Jacob :). It works well to be able to dial in the paces.
