Day 5: Running Upward, Heave-ho!
February 18, 2009
Day 5, Week -4 / 12:00PM
1.5 mile warm-up on flat ground
5 times repeat hill training
Completed in approximately 1hr
In the past, I’ve been lazy about integrating more hills into my runs, as they mess with my breathing and my mental game. I can’t avoid them this time around though, as San Francisco is peppered with hills, and the marathons that I’ve been apart of have always had a major hill or two thrown in the first half of the race.
For a good read on hill training read this Runner’s World article here. If you want a specific regimen, read Active.com’s recommendations from the American Running Association here.
Slowly but surely, I may be on my way to my goal time. Took me a number of tries, but I think this regimen (and this blog) will be my answer.
