I ran a hill workout on the treadmill.  I started at 8.9 mph and increased .1 mph every 5 minutes.  Every ten minutes I ran a two minute hill with an incline of 3.  I should have run 6 2 minute hills in an hour, but after my fourth one I was struggling.  I started to increase my pace every half of a mile after 7 miles, and every quarter of a mile after 8 miles.  I ran a fifth hill the last two minutes of the run.  The pace was 10.3 mph and the incline level was 2.  Total time 57:10.  We are fighting colds at our house and I could feel the congestion in my chest today.  I hope it doesn't get any worse.

Hey Emily! So good to see you on the blog again. It is really helpful to read about how the elite women train.

Sounds like a gutsy workout today, especially considering the congestion!

Do you have a particular goal in mind for when you will run your first marathon?

Nice to see you posting again! The one good thing about running faster on a treadmill is that long treadmill miles go by quicker.
