A big problem with hill reps is that the rest is usually so long. It's an undeniable fact of most hill reps. You need to run back to where you started and you're usually running slower. This workout I tried to change that up a bit by using the forest road on Cab Med. Workout was 2x3:30 on 2min rest, 1x1:30 on 1min rest, 2x3:30 on 2min rest, and 1x1:30 on 1min rest. I could shorten them much more, but one step at a time.
It worked pretty well. The only problem was that the road wasn't steep enough in a lot of sections. In fact in some sections it was just plain flat. Perhaps I should do more to get in more total climb. At any rate this was a good workout. A high heart rate, burning legs, gasping for air. Mmmmm.... fitness.
I also did this in the moonlight. The moon was very bright and at the perfect angle. Once my eyes were adjusted it worked great. It made for a very fun run. I was also annoyed to go back into the yellow glow of the streetlights on my way home. Is there a way to make streetlights the color of the moon?
