New hill workout - partly on trails and partly on the road.

Event: SVO Rocky Ridge
 

Nice brown course by Samuel Kolins. I struggled to read the map as my eyes were tearing the whole time. Had some good legs but some very sloppy ones as well. Definitely out of practice. I did enjoy the downhills in the snow covered leaves though - I do a little sliding, skiing kind of thing that feels easy. Didn't feel as good running on the trails as I did last weekend though

Brown - Splits

Found a feature on my watch for run/walk and set it for 2 mins/1 min. I kept not wanting to run but whenever the watch chimed I was like Pavlov's dog and just started jogging. Kept it up the whole way. Not particularly fast as the trails were leaf covered and very sloppy with mud and even slush in places.

I took yesterday off as I've had a sore spot in the very top of my quad. I did a little stretching and foam rolling last night too. I didn't notice it today which is good so here's hoping it just needed a day off.

Hill repeats on A-hill. Managed to do 8. I still don't understand why these seem so much harder than the ones behind Valley Green Inn and yet they aren't nearly as much climb. Had a 15 lb pack.

Elliptical. Tried to really push the last 5 minutes before the 5 minute cooldown. I really do need to set some goals for these workouts.
