Went back on my Garmin and found the Grade % on this workout is 11.5% for the 1/2 Mile.

Finally got to run again. I've been on a business trip to Florida again and just got back.
I decided do a hill workout today and just made this on up as I went. There is a big hill 1.5 miles from my house that I never run because it is too steep and long and no fun to run! Today I decided to tackle it and see how many times I could run it. The hill beat me after 2 and I was ready to quit. It is exactly 1/2 mile long ( I need to download my run from my garmin to my computer so I can see what the actual grade is). It seems pretty steep!
The first time I ran it the pace was 7:36 up and 5:30 down. The second time I was slower going up at 7:58 but faster going down at 5:20 pace. I rested between the sets until my HR came back down to 100 bpm. On the downhill I could have run faster but I didn't want to be running out of control and hurt something.

Target: Hill Run. The hill is .5 miles @ 11.5% Grade. The up-hill was tough, I got a little sick at my stomach. On the down-hill I had to hold back trying to keep a smooter form. Waited between sets until my HR hit 100 bpm.
The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.
