Drove up to a road above the C for workout today, we did warmups then a mile warmup and went straight into the 60%. My legs felt heavy. I wasn't expecting the hills, and I'm not so good at them so that was rough. Not even a mile into it I knew it was going to be a struggle. The hills were long and steep, and it just seemed to keep going up and up. But coach said that it was about effort not time so even though I was hitting a slower pace I tried to stay positive. It was supposed to be about 6:35 average but I ended up averaging 7:16. Considering the hills and elevation (over 9,000 feet) I'd say it was alright. Hopefully the next time we do it I'll feel better.
HR 56
