3/11/11 (Friday) Run

Today I ran 8 miles in 1:09:31.  The assignment today was to run 20X2 min hills with a one minute recovery in-between each hill.  I had no idea how steep they wanted the hill to be, so I set the treadmill at a 6% incline.  I did the first one at 7.5 mph.  I did the next four at 7.0 mph, then the next 10 at 6.6 mph.  For the last five I started at 6.7 mph and increased it by .1 mph for each interval, finishing the last one at 7.5 mph.

I really don't like hills.  They are quite exhausting and no matter how fast you run, it just doesn't seem to be fast enough.  But it is good that I am working them since they are my weakness.  I have gotten better at hills the past couple of years.  The small ones no longer have a negative psychological effect on me.  Now for the big ones....
