Headed For The Hills

I headed for the hills; the biggest hills this town has to offer. I thought hard all day what route had the steepest inclines and this was it. While I was running, the only one that felt steep was the first one by the river; it just wasn't long enough. What’s more, this is a good run to improve speed so I thought mile repeats. Well, once again, modified; after the warm up with the hills, I just never took a break (a drop in pace) in between miles, and just kept increasing my pace (that's my modified repeat part). Not the correct way to run repeats, but my comfort pace is a low 8mm, so this run does help my speed. Although, I should run a high 6mm recover with a low 8mm and so on...that would really help for increasing speed. To the hills, Chris Activity Route: -- Elev.
