Race: Hogpen Hill Race (11.184 Miles) 01:50:56
Easy MilesMarathon Pace MilesThreshold MilesVO2 Max MilesTotal Distance
11.000.000.000.0011.00

2500 feet elvations gain in 18k (>11 miles).

i used the first 6 miles to warm up and endure the hard 5 miles up to 14% incline; the real strategy is to warm up properly and race the first 5-6 miles as hard as you can and then endure the incline. That way you get to the painbox around mle 6  and you want  to give up; so you "just" have to endure the next 5 miles.  I did not race this as i will run a marathon in 2 months however i hope that the hills provide the expected training benefits

wu; 2 miles 10k pace -4 min rest; 1 mile 5k pace; 4min rest 800m 3k pace; 2x400m 1mile pace

because of the cold and the the long run last week?  the legs did feel the fast turnover;  maybe also because i am sick -common cold; i did sweat a lot;
