Almost time!
Hilly trail running today. Last week I broke the whole run (about 5 miles) up into intervals and did a sort of hybrid long-distance / high intensity interval workout. Instead of doing really short sprints though I would just find a good upbeat song (generally between 3 and 4 minutes long) and just run as fast as I could for the whole song, then slow down for a minute or so to rest (sometimes had to walk). It felt awesome and I’m going to do it again today. I’m probably running about as fast as I would if I were doing a mile as fast as I could, but by taking more frequent breaks I’m keeping it up for several miles. Last time it felt great, should be able to go faster and not require as much downtime this time around. I’ll probably jump in the pool for 5 or 10 laps just to relax my body after the run… Go time!
