Yikes, these "hill tempos" are hard. Tonight's run was 8 minute miles for 30 minutes at 4% grade. Sounds easy, but it really gets my heart rate up and makes my quads burn. I had to skimp on the warm up and cool down (and on this blog entry) because I need to get back to work!
As much as I don't like running indoors, I do end up using the treadmill quite a bit. I find the sprint intervals and hills training work well there.
ReplyDeleteNot quite the same as running outdoors but it never ever rains inside.
