#2 – 50 Runs in 100 Days – Autumn Edition<\/p>\n
The original plan was to run 8×500 hilly intervals on St Hans hills yesterday but in the afternoon it started to rain so change of plans, biked to the gym that was planned today and hoped the weather would be better today but \u00a0no such luck, it has been raining the whole day.<\/p>\n
So I decided that I would do hilly intervals at the gym, on the treadmill and was thinking how would I do that. First time I would do hilly intervals on the treadmill.<\/p>\n
Could I run 500 m with a certain incline or should I gradually increase the incline, many questions.<\/p>\n
When I got home from work I was googling and found the right one at the top but changed it a bit.<\/p>\n
Thought that I would do warm up first and then I would start with 2.5% incline but instead of having the 1 min rest after the hilly interval I decided that I would run 500 m with 0.5% incline, then 1 min rest.<\/p>\n
Put on the fan and started my hilly interval training with a pace of 6.15 min\/k. I would increase the incline with 0.5% for each interval.<\/p>\n
First 2.5% was piece of cake, also 3%, had to put the fan on high, 3.5% no problem, no problem with 4% and 4.5%.<\/p>\n
Then at 5% I was not sure if I could go any higher.<\/p>\n
It said that if I would get lactic acid I would decrease the incline by 0.5%.<\/p>\n
I survived the 5% incline.<\/p>\n
Then I was not sure about the 5.5% incline, tougher of course but managed that too.<\/p>\n
Then the treadmill stopped at 60 min so I took a micro pause<\/p>\n
Then I was not sure about the last interval which would have a 6% incline, really tough but when it was 200 m left I just pepped myself to continue even if it was heavy breathing and I managed all the inclines that I had planned.<\/p>\n
Great workout, really sweaty and tougher and tougher, I had of course the security string on<\/p>\n
