I texted Brent to say there was a change a plans. I would do the repeats directly after work on Friday. This way I could sleep in somewhat on Saturday and maybe take a rest day. Brent was on board. He hasn’t done hills for a long time either.
My training plan (which I am successfully only half following) does not call for any strength or hill training. I don’t know what it is but I absolutely love hill repeats. We picked the smaller of two hills to attack. I wanted to do at least 10 repeats because I wanted to feel the good hurt on my legs. We felt awesome! Brent did a lot of stretching between repeats. I was too focused so I waited until I got home to undue the damage.
Great way to kick off my weekend!
What did you do on Friday night?
I fully understand your love of hill repeats! Did them only a couple of times last summer and now am waiting for all of the ice to disappear, so that I can go "full out" (sorta). I love the idea of being able to say "Yay, I'm at the top!" anywhere from six to ten times in a row! It also occurred to me that the "Danger-Thin Ice" sign would likely be a good one for spouses to carry around occasionally…lol!
I love hill repeats as well! Great job on attacking those hills!!!
How is Chopped Leaf? I still need to try it out.
I love it! Fresh veg & brown rice. Oh so good!
