Long Hill Reps 5x1.1k

Felt very much like hard work tonight to do these reps. No power in the bum and legs to get up the hill quicker. The suffering is all for Six Foot Track so it just has to be done.

Reps were 5:34, 5:29, 5:33, 5:38, 5:33. All done with about the same recovery back down the hill. A nice cool breeze was blowing and it wasn't too humid which is good.

The 2008 adventure begins. Yeehah!

Well it is about time that we got started on another leg smashing mission to conquer Six Foot.
I've found myself a lot faster running up this hill than last year. Funny about that. Maybe there is some truth in making yourself faster on the flat helps you run up hills a bit faster as well.

Thats my theory and I'm sticking to it. Secret Eastern Suburbs Hill location. Very humid tonight and not too many cars and people got in my way.

Had 5 reps of the 1.1k hill. Not very steep but it only goes up or partially flat. No downs until I turn around and stagger back for the recovery.

Reps were: 5:23, 5:22, 5:27, 5:32, 5:28. All done with about the same recovery back down the hill again. They really were hard work tonight. But I do feel I can do these a lot quicker and more of them before the race gets near.
