Lets keep the hill workouts going everyone! If you have not joined the group yet, come out on Thursday for some fun. We will run again from Tracy's house. Her neighborhood is near the Smith's Red and White, but only 10 minutes from the Harris Teeter. These are important workouts towards your training. They serve as a way to improve your leg strength and the turnover speed of your legs. 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:
- 10-15 minute easy warm up
- 5-8 Hill repeats (85% effort with a slow jog down the hill)
- 10 minute cool down
- Don't forget to bring your fluids!
I shall be there...and hopefully a little faster this week.
