Ran over to the nice little park at Embury / Scribner and ran some sprints...

Found a marked lacrosse field 70 meters across and ran sprints with a minute in between each. Took a last break of two minutes while a bit of rain passed and then ran one more down and back. The times go up and down based on the direction - running North is downhill slightly, South uphill. Must be interesting to have a game on that field...-)

10.3, 11.5, 10.3, 11.7, 10.8, 11.5, 10.3, 11.5, 10.9, 12.1, 10.8, 11.8, 11.1, 12.1, 11.9, 12.4.

Event: US Team Trials
 

Headed over to Ellison Park

Reran the 1 mile hill loop in the park (45m climb), 4 good runs and then I switched up to see what it is with a power walk - 1/3 slower, but much less strain. Also pushed it back down the hill to see what that different is.

pre-jog - 3:31
Climb 1 - 3:12 / Back 1 - 7:28
Climb 2 - 3:08 / Back 2 - 7:53
Climb 3 - 3:20 / Back 3 - 8:00
Climb 4 - 3:27 / Back 4 - 7:39
Climb 5 - 4:39 [power walk] / Back 5 - 5:17 [run]

Interesting that in my present state, it is about the same time to run up and recover on the down as it is to walk up and run down... Think I came to the same conclusion skiing... Gotta get to the place where I can run up and down;-)

Good workout.

Back up and out of the park and home.

Short run, wasn't sure what it was going to be, but it ended up a reasonable tempo run... 6:45 / 58 / 7:07
