Our first hills training — a few warmup laps around the track, 30 minutes of up and down the hill on the south end of the Greenlake playfields and then a few cool down laps around the track.
Sounds pretty simple, and it was. Except for the hill part. The coaches had us going up fast and coming down slow. And, they wanted us to go just a little faster each time going up. I pushed to do that and was really huffing and puffing by the end of that 30 minutes. You'd think my massive leg muscles would have helped out there, but they didn't (that's kind of a joke since it seems that someone at every group run makes a comment about how big my calves are).
I had my running app going during the exercise, but since it wasn't really a straight on run the stats are a little off.
Run stats: 47:19 min. | 3.84 miles | 12:20/mile average pace
