Well, the plan for tonight was to do 7 laps of my hill repeat course for a total of 21 hill sprints and a 9.5 mile run.
I slowly ran over to the loop and made my way to the first big hill which is almost exactly 1 mile into the run. I sprinted the first hill, and half way up I realized my legs were not going to allow me to do my planned run. I made the decision to turn around and jog slowly back down the hill and do that 10 times. I became well aquainted with that hill. It's just under 200 yards and is approximately a 10% incline. I averaged around 41 seconds up it each time, and it apears I did just over a mile of sprinting and just over a mile of downhill jogging. After the sprint session I jogged easy for a few miles and made my way home. I felt like crap when I got home. Total run 5.8 miles. |
