Hill workout- started intorducing light hill repeats to gradually build up to more intense. 6 repeats of a low grade hill (about .6 miles) that is made up of 2 parts (hill then flat then hill) it took about 4-5 minutes to run up and then down. Total time about 27 minutes and mileage was 3.6 miles. plus 6.5 other miles (run to and back from hill) so about 10 miles total (VERY INEXACT MILEAGE which is why I keep typing "about"). Total time was 75 minutes and then I did a 15 minute cool down of running drills, dynamic stretching and a cooldown walk. Overall pace was probably 7:15-20 on the run to the hill and then slower while I was doing the hill repeats. Stretching- I have noticed a big difference in my recovery when I cooldown with dynamic stretches so I plan to continue this trend.
