First week of hills this morning. Four repeats on the steepest switchback I could find in the neighbourhood. Elevation difference of 53 meters over 503 m distance, or approximately 10% grade.
It felt good to go out and attack the hills, but I really am astounded that my RR schedule says that hills should be done at Tempo pace? That seems pretty out of reach. Especially when I get to 10x repeats over the next six weeks!
With warm up and cool down I managed 9 k at 6 min/km pace, which is a good workout for me. We'll see where I go from there.
