6.5 easy miles this morning but run too fast although it felt really easy. I finished with 10 hill sprints over the last mile+. AP 7:54 Even though that felt really easy I need to do better at slowing down on my easy runs so I can really push hard on the 3 important runs each week.

Cumulus Miles: 6.50

Another tough workout!!! Where do you get all of your energy? Are you running a 20 miler tomorrow?

From Kathie on Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 13:11:45

Well Rhett if it felt easy it could have been way too fast, I am like you though I need to make my easy days easier.

Dale, Tomorrow I will only go 16. I'll do 8 EZ miles out and downhill, then 8 back up hill fast.

How in the world can an AP of 7:54 feel easy!! You're nuts (and in such good shape).

Nice job!!

Hey Rhett, how steep is this hill? I always have it in my head that you're running up and down hills with 10% grade.

From rhett on Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 16:33:08

Just more than the last mile of my ez run is up a long straight road that has about a 5% incline. I only so my sprints for 10 secs each and then just keep running up for 50 secs...repeat 10 times.

When I do my real hill work the hills are longer and much steeper, more like 10%. That will be this coming Monday's workout.

Teena, thanks. I think I am a bit nuts, but I was making a conscious effort to run slow and easy I just need to do better at slowing down.

Kathy, your workouts lately have been pretty intense. Your doing awsome. Have you given any thought to the duathalon idea?

From Kathie on Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 16:43:09

Rhett while I like the idea of a duathlon/triathlon, I don't own a bike and I can't swim so for now I will just stick to the running and then when I get rich and famous I will hire a swim coach and buy a bike.

One of these days I need to plan my workouts. You do things so smartly.

From Smooth on Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 18:12:22

NICE EZ run. How do you figure out the percentage of hill inclines? There are two hills on a rounte that I frequently run.

One is 1.5 mile long with a 195' ascend.

The other one is 0.3 mi long with 63' ascend. These numbers are from my Garmin graph.

Most of the time I run them at a steady pace. Sometimes I would "sprint" to one telephone pole and recover to the next telephone pole; or counting sets of 30.

From rhett on Sat, Feb 14, 2009 at 15:09:15

I have one of the screens on my Garmin set to tell me the % incline/decline and when I'm running up the hill I just look at it a bunch of times and take the average. I'm sure it's not exact, but I don't want to do the math to figure it out.
