Kinda hill fartlek tonight on the mill. Threw in random climbs of anywhere from 1.5% (for a mile) to 10% (for 220 yards) throughout a 10K run, than did the last 0.25 at MP. Totaled 58:10 for the 10K; decent pace without pushing too hard. Other climbs were 3% (half mile), 6% (440), and 8% (440). Total vertical gain 474 feet. Glutes protested a little, but probably not more than they would have anyway on a slow 10K. Also got in some mid-afternoon XT, upper body, abs, glutes and even some leg extensions. Hope that I can continue that through the summer and fall and really supplement the running, maybe get the glutes in shape so they calm down. |
