I ran 4 (.7 miles each) hill repeats. So 2.8 of these miles was run at about a 20-30% incline (I ran a two loops of Foothill Drive and Quail Valley in Provo, one up to Eastlawn cemetary and one more of foothill). I warmed up about a mile and stared up the first hill. Felt good, downhill hurt and I couldn't let go of my snail pace. It was the same for every repeat. Up those hills I just leaned forward and hardly moved my feet. After I was done with the big uphills, I ran the rest on rolling hills, and downhill to get back to my office, where I bathed in a handsink and went back to my desk to finish two grant requests. I'm going to finish my 20 miler on Saturday with those 2 hills. The idea of running even rolling hills at mile 17 is killing me. My legs are sooooo sore right now. |
