We are trying a new hill this week! Instead of running from Tracy's we are going to run the Steeple Chase hill in Candlewood. This hill is not as long as "Tracy's Hill", so at the top it may flatten out a bit. It will still give you a good workout, and hopefully offer some shade. Hopefully we will see some more runners now that we are closer to the Teeter. We usually have between five and eight show up.The temps are supposed to climb again on Thursday, so come prepared. Bring extra fluids. One bottle for during the workout, and one for after. Make sure they are chilled and/or have ice. Like last week we will run 5-8 hill repeats of 90-100 seconds each. If it is you first hill workout, start on the low end of time and of occurrences. Here is the planned schedule:
- 10 minute easy warm up
- 5-9 Hill repeats (85% effort with a slow jog down the hill)
- 5-8 minute cool down
We will meet at the Harris Teeter parking lot. Our warm up will be a run to Candlewood, with one short loop. Our cool down will be an easy jog back to the Harris Teeter.
I'll be there....at 6:30 (??)
ReplyDeleteNevermind.
ReplyDeleteI plan to be there.
ReplyDeleteCome on guys! Hill workouts are important. Come join the fun!
ReplyDeleteI know it is hot, and hills are not as easy as flat ground, but these are not too bad. . . Just ask Arthur, Russ, Tracy, Dave, Brent, Misty, Scott, and others. We really try to make these workouts fun. Hopefully we can see even more come out this week.
For those doing Richmond, we will soon switch over to more speed based workouts, so get some hill runs in before it is too late!
See ya tonight!
I'll be there,

I'll be there....my 2nd comment above was b/c I overlooked the posted time. I agree with Michael....the hills are fun in a strange way. I'm going to sweat today anyway....might as well be working for it !
ReplyDeleteI disagree...hills suck (but they are better than intervals)! That being said, I will be there for my punishment!
ReplyDeleteGreat workout guys! That was a tough one. Thanks for coming out: Arthur, Russ, Scott, Ryan, and Jason.
