4/8/15

Mon 4/6 - PM 50 minutes incl. 8x hill loop

Continuing the recent obsession with running hard both up and down hills. Came up with a loop very close to home including Thompson, Elmwood, Chandler and Walnut that included plenty of up and down, some of it rather steep. Alternated direction for each rep. Not feeling especially spry on the warmup, which only emphasized the need to stay under control and not overdo it early on. Not entirely sure how long each rep would take, only that it would be somewhere around 3 minutes. With this being the case, went with a short recovery of starting each rep on 4 minutes. This meant 45-50 seconds recovery with the splits starting around 3:15 and the last one around 3:06. Felt the accumulated fatigue on the last two reps which made it clear I had reached my limit for the evening. Cooldown criminally short, but I didn't feel like going further in the somewhat chilly conditions.
