Today was hill training (notice I got up early!). We did a 1.5-mile warmup at a very easy pace, then dynamic stretching, then 6 x 90-second hills at 1-mile pace (7:27 for me) with 2 minutes active recovery after each repeat. I tried to keep track of the distance of each repeat so I could keep track of my pace, but it was hard. I need to figure out how to do that. I think some repeats were too fast and some too slow.
I cheated a little and added an extra minute of recovery after the third repeat, and another minute after the fifth, I think. We did an approximate 1.3-mile cooldown at the end.
Next week is the last week of hills, and then we start going to the track!
I slept 10 hours Saturday night and 10 hours Sunday night. Wouldn't you know it-I couldn't sleep at all last night! I got MAYBE 5 hours of sleep, so I'm starting the week out tired. I'll get to bed early tonight.
PM-various stretches to combat potential stride problems resulting from spending all day in an office chair. And I'm really starting to get intrigued by the barefoot running...
