10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

Great session as hill reps force you to run with good form, lifting the knees higher and really driving the elbows back. Work hard for the 30 seconds uphill, recovery back down for 60 seconds.

The hill doesn’t need to be super challenging, let me know if you have a hill in mind and I should be able to confirm whether it’s about right. A really good session this and good to get some hill work in before the Ultra.

That was hard but good. I was pleased that I never gave up on any of the reps. I did take a 1min breather after the first 10 then another breather after the next 5 but other than that I kept going. The 30 seconds seemed to get longer. I can definitely see why these make you stronger. I was glad I did them but…

It’s one of the few sessions that is sooooo much tougher than it looks on paper. 30 secs? No problems. When it fact, as you said it can be quite a long time when going up hill and the 60s to get back down to where you started seems even shorter. So really well done. No worries on the extra 1 min recoveries, I’d rather you do that and complete the session that stop. Excellent work Tina.
