Probably my best Pah Tempe Hill Workout to date. When I started doing these .3 mile hill repeats in January of 2006 my times went something like this 3x hill 2:33, 2:33, 2:33. Over the past two years the times of course have come down, but last night was really good, and I think part of it was due to the fact I was running as it was getting dark and I was getting pretty scared. Well, I tricked myself into getting scared as I started each repeat I just imagined crazy things were coming out of the trees and were chasing me and I had to make it up the steep hill as fast as possible to the main highway and civilization. Anyway, I guess my scare tactics worked a little. 1.5 easy warm-up 1-2:14 felt easy 2-2:13 3-2:13 4-2:08-way too fast I thought, pretty sure I'll die now on 5 and 6
5-2:09-pretty dark now
6-2:06* New all time PR As I said I was happy with the times, and I was also happy with the recovery in between I was taking 3:30 rest to job back down the hill. In the past, sometimes I would take up to 4:00 minutes. Did 2 miles cool-down DS Trainer-73 |
