10K, workout #23
Today I'll do a hill session at the gym at work.
The workout
The workout consists of two times 2500m at an incline of 8%, but last time I did that, I felt 8% was way too steep. It didn't feel natural, nor good, so I changed it to 5%, which, for someone living in the Netherlands, is still a relatively high incline. In between the 2500 meters at inline, the recovery was also 2500 meters, at the same pace, but with only 1% of incline. The goal of the workout is to engage the upper legs in hill work, while maintaining steady pace and cadence.

Afterwards
I find running on a treadmill harder than running outside, even at low speeds. The workout went fine, an the two times 2500m at 5% were comfortably hard.
