I started this run on the ame route that I usually do. About 7 minutes in I decided that I didn't want to do an out and back like I usually do. I decided to warm up for a few miles, then run up to the temple. I decided I would run to the temple, jog back down to where it was flat again, and repeat. I did it 3 times. According to Garmin, from where I was turining around, to the temple was a 201' elevation difference in .98 miles. The half marathon and marathon I am doing this summer both have some long hills, so I figure I should probably try and get some long hill runs in. I felt good doing this run, but I was taking it pretty easy going up.
My average pace for the total run, including a 5 minute warm up and 5 minute cool down was 7:44.
