Fantastic day in Pretty River Provincial Park with Bash. Climbing, climbing, lots of climbing!

Unmotivated, I went out to do 14th side road hill repeats solo. I decided this time I would only do the lower steeper half and really try to go harder. So, I found this very difficult and I wanted to barf at the top for the second and third repeat. By the fourth one I could not push myself into the barf zone.

This section was a 30m ascent over 340m on pavement.

1 2:15
2 2:18
3 2:20
4 2:34

After the fourth repeat, I decided to "screw this" and just went for a jog for another 40 minutes.

Pace went from 641 on the first to 731 on the last, so clearly I need some work in this area. On a positive note, when I do the full hill, my pace is around 830.

Flat urban run, but saw a shooting star!

New workout at the work gym, trying to stimulate a big mountain climb:

Power hike on the treadmill for a mile at 15% incline then
50 stories on the old fashion stair master

All I have to do is imagine I am in the Alps, and not a stinky basement gym.
