September 9 Workout:


15-minute warmup (easy/conversational pace) out and back on the trails/roads near Lake Newport.


Hill Repeats. After warmup meet at the base of the hill at the wooden bridge, then run up at ~80-85% effort. Walk down slowly. That is 1 repeat. Goal: 4-6 repeats. Try to add to what you did last week.


10-15-minute cool down on the trails.


Tips:

Maintain good posture.

Keep your feet under you by shortening your stride to match the incline.

If the hill is too long, shorten it by going part-way up (1/3 or 1/2 way).



It has been a pleasure training with you this Summer and I look forward to training again next year. Good luck on Wednesday.



Menzies.
