Tue 9/25 - PM 80 minutes incl. 8xComm Ave hill

Following a 25 minute warmup that took the better part of an hour, ran the hill "bench to bench." First rep was 1:58, last 1:53, all others inthe 1:54-5 range. Recoveries consistently in the 2:25 range except for a 30 second wait at the bottom before the sixth. Numbers totally arbitrary, went a few yards further than where the bench at the top used to be. I may have finally figured out how to do this infernal workout properly as I made a conscious effort to run a negative split effort, hanging back until just past halfway and then trying to move out as it leveled off. The patient approach worked very well for me. Really no other way to approach a hill this long. Speaking of infernal, a hot and windy evening. Less-than-optimal air quality led to airway soreness. Cooldown a crawl, ran out of energy on top of the breathing issues.
