Running hills 52:55 [4] 7.03 mi (7:32 / mi)
The goal of this run - 7 miles on a hilly route at marathon pace (7:39). Pacing was not very consistent between uphills and flat/downhill but this was actually a really hard workout, probably due to the fact that there was never recovery after the hills because of the pace. Still impressed that I was able to average under my goal pace (not too worried about the fact that I wasn't right on because my pacing outside is terrible, and in this case fast was better than slow), but I'm glad I only planned hill workouts once a month - they are tough mentally. There were 4 medium/big hills and another 4-5 small hills on this route, I'd say.
