Hill Workout day on the TM. Wow! This is getting boring running inside!! Not enough to get me out in the Cold, Dark, and Wet yet. I can handle 1 and sometimes 2 out of the 3, but not all 3. According to my fancy new inside/outside thermometer that I got for Christmas it was 39 degrees outside.
25 minute warmup then the plan was to run 3 - 3/4 mile hills at a steady state pace with inclines of 3% 5% and 7%. Ended up doing 3,4,5% just to be sure I could finish strong. HR High on the 3% incline topped out at 162 then easy run of 5 minutes HR down to 137 4% HR high was 167 then after 5 minute easy was down to 141 5% HR high was 171 then after 5 minute easy was down to 143 Then about a 8 minute gradual cooldown. This run felt great and I could have done more but it's been a while since doing any hard hills.
