This morning we did our speed workout for the week by doing hills. We did a 1 mile warm up jog and then found a really long and steep hill in the local cemetery. We did a series of 4 hill runs where we really pushed ourselves up the hill and walked down the hill, before finishing with a 1 mile jog. This was to preserve our knees and allow us to do a better job running up the hill. Going up those hills, I felt like a tub of lard. I can't believe how hard it has gotten for me to run hills.
Last week's long run was completed however GR wasn't able to finish the full 10 miles so we are going to cut it down to 11 this week to avoid causing injury.
