I decided to start doing hill sprints as a VO2 workout and to build leg strength and running form. I am starting slow. Two sprints. I'll do this twice a week and add a sprint each week until I get up to 8 and then do it once a week. I was just going to do a 10 minute warm-up, do the sprints, and then a 10-minute cool-down. After doing the sprints, I thought I should spend more time and just do a couple more miles at conversational pace. So I went half way up Newcastle and back down. I saw Stacie returning from her run on Newcastle just before I crossed Highland. The sprints went well. I focused on moving my arms in a straight line front-to-back and getting my hands up to eye level. The running was very smooth. It felt good. Details |
