1/30/21 SATURDAY. HILL REPEATS/XT/LOADED CARRIES. 8 am. The workout will be held. LMK if you are joining in on the workout.
Workout is held Seminary College off Seminary Drive; park along the road near the entry into the College. Arrive early enough to get in a warm-up run and be at the exercise stations for the 8 am start.
The Sprint distance is about 10″ and is done at mile effort level; the rest of the hill lengths (short is about 20-30″; the Half 45″ to 1′; Long is over 2′) are run at 5K effort level, i.e., as if you are in the middle of a 5K race. ……Hill Repeats develop leg speed, leg strength and fitness; it is the “weight training of running.”…..
The next third of the workout is a mix of 30 meter and our one minute loop pickups interspersed with KB/DB Loaded Carries, KB Swings, and Trap Bar Deadlifts.
