Whew! I'm not sure if that .4 was really VO2 max, but I'm too tired to care.
Planned workout: 2 miles warmup at 10:40-11:40 pace; 4 x 1:00 uphill reps at 7:37 pace with 2 minutes recovery after each rep; 2 mile cooldown at 10:40-11:40 pace.
Actual workout: 2 miles warmup at 10:59 pace; 4 x 30-45 second uphill sprints ending when I was gasping for air about to fall over and never getting below 8:15, with 2 minutes recovery after each: 2 mile cooldown at 11:14 pace. I wonder if the hill was too steep. I'm telling you, it was STEEP!
The warmup felt too slow, but the cooldown didn't! I have my work cut out for me... |
