WOD: A Strong Run

Warmup
stretching

Workout
Another round on that last 3 mile run around Mt Lebo

Results
Finished in 29:46. I took over 2 minutes off of my last time!

I ran pretty hard out of the gate and then slowed it down a bit about half way through the run. But the last mile or so is on-and-off uphill and I was struggling. And then the last 1/4 mile is all uphill and I was fighting just to finish - legs were tired, lungs were burning and kinda felt like I might puke a couple of times :)

So needless to say, this was a great run!! I'd like to try to find a fairly flat 3 mile road run next time, because I think I could shed another a minute without any hills to deal with....but then again, hills are good for you

  1. Great job! Hills are good for you but really challenging until you get used to them. I used to run at our old house, all hills. I hated them at first, then I'd tell them to bring it on =) Hills do work different muscles and if you run them a lot, you'll notice you're much faster on flat ground. Good job!!

  2. Yeah, I love to hate them!! ... love them in the beginning of a run, hate them at the end :)
