3 x 1200m neighborhood hill loop that was about 50/50 uphill/downhill at ~6% grade.
*coughcoughhackhack*
I've been back running again for almost 2 years out here, but I still have a lot to learn about hill repeats at altitude. It's probably not wise to try and go out at faster than (flat) 5k pace for the first 300 meters of the uphill part, for example. Felt like my form was pretty good on the downhills at least, even though I was mostly in survival mode by that point.
I feel like I can get pretty big gains strengthwise by doing this workout on a regular basis. I just need to work on relaxing on the ups and pushing the downs more. Plus it will give the neighborhood folk further confirmation that I'm just a crazy heathen.
