Unexpected Hill Workout

Sean called me at 10:00 am, asking if I knew of a good hill workout. I referenced the SMART schedule, which revealed a hill session for TODAY. After a small discussion we chose an appropriate size hill and made plans for an afternoon run in Kingwood.

I'm glad I did this workout rather than just running the miles. My hamstrings are SCREAMING!

Our workout:
2-mile warm up (10:42, 10:00)
Four sets of:
One long hill
Three half hills
One long hill
0.25 mile recovery
Splits for hill portion: (9:43, 10:20, 10:22, 9:54)
2-mile cool down (10:39, 10:20)

Activity: Hill Run
Mileage: 8.00 miles
Time: 1:22:13 -- 10:15 pace
Location: Kingwood Greenbelts
How I Felt: 9.5

Hill workouts are most enjoyable when followed by a day off!! The "overpass" hills on Sunday will be easy-peacy, lemon-squeezie! Look forward to seeing you on Sunday!
