Me and Thom went to practice a lil early so we could get a few more miles in before the workout so we didn't have to do them after. We got 4 and ended at the groval next to airport. Did our stretches and a few strides. The workout was 100,200,300,400,500 meters up the hill at 5k goal pace, equal recovery down, then jump into the next set. We took a break before the last one to get some water. The 100 was flat. The next hundred of the 200 was all increasing incline. The 300 you ran till just before it levels out. 400 you run for a little bit after leveling out. 500 you run for a while after it levels out.
I ran the workout as even as possible. Just looking down at my watch occasionally the 100 was 5:00, the 200 5:20, and it got slower cuz the hill gets steeper the farther you go up until it levels out. My 5k goal pace is for Nike SW, the flat golf course so there is no way I can do that pace up airport, its just not realistic. So I made sure the effort was there and it was a good workout, I got like 5.75 miles.
Little around the grass, then back to the high school and a stride on the football field.
