HILL TRAINING BEGINS, AGAIN
CAT HILL
WE
MEET AGAIN
WE
MEET AGAIN
yes, this is a picture of a shaved catTonight's drill: run up and down Cat Hill till your legs fall off.
The specific instructions were to run from the bottom of Cat Hill to the top incorporating proper technique: short quick strides, low arms and good breathing. Then recover on the way down.
When I recover, I RECOVER. I take my time and slow my pace down so I can really get my breathing back to normal. People pass me on the way down, but I don't care. I got to get my breath back.
What was really cool about this practice was talking to everyone about their runs over the weekend. My mentee's had a great weekend. A few were running on Saturday morning (see earlier post) in the bitter cold (hardcore) and a couple of them ran the half marathon. Some had their longest runs to date this past weekend. I admire all of them for getting out there in the cold and running.

You know what helps me recover from a cold run? Rice and gravy...yum.
Jim,
Way to recover! When those fast recoverers are dying on the next repeat, maybe they'll learn to emulate you!
Also, congrats on the half-marathon time. That's awesome!
