10-15mts of hills 1-3 minute intervals. Equal distance rest.
So of course I went out at the snowiest part of the day to get this in. I warmed up just under 3 and did the hill going up Colorow to my office. That only ended up being 1 minute and my pacing was awful - a burst of too fast followed by barely finishing for a one minute interval. These ended up rising about 70 feet over 800 feet so a bit steep at 8.75%. Also wet and not getting warmed up.
So after two of those, I decided to take it in to the treadmill to get in a proper work out. Good timing as coworker was just finishing. I did minute intervals of 1-2-3-3-2-1 with equal minutes rest. Did inclines between 4-5.5 and speeds of 10.5-11.5 mph (I consider it a 6:00 avg given that the treadmill is slow). Was definitely working hard. After I finished, I put it all the way up to 12mph and 15 degree incline for 20 seconds. I've done this before but never more than 10 seconds or staying on the treadmill while raising the belt/speeding up and lowering/slowing down. So that was fun. Cooled down 1 milish.
Overall, an awesome workout. My face is still stinging and my muscles feel fatigued. I don't feel this way often enough.
