YF Hill Sprints

You know it was a hard run when legs are now jelly-ed and eyes closing...

4km warm-up on my own: 22+min (~5:30+min)
Group warm-up on field: 10min
Slow jog to Bot Gardens

We had a 2-part hill intervals tonight in the hot and humid Botanic Gardens.

1st: Short slope (sprint) then slow recovery jog down in a loop back to starting point. 30min. Did 8 sets. Legs wobbly already. Rest interval was supposedly the time for heart rate to fall back to an ok level such that one was fresh to dash again. Time for the upslope sprint segment (did not record time for the down jog):

1- 29sec (followed Shem)
2- 25 sec
3- 24sec
4- 23sec
5- 23sec
6- 23sec
7- 22sec
8- 21sec
(Each complete loop took abt 2:20-2:40min)

2nd: Long slope (consistent), u-turn and slow jog down the same way. Again, rest interval was for HR to drop, but I was feeling the fatigue after 2 sets. Did 5 sets. Average of 1:30-1:35 for the upslope, and 3:30min for the complete set.

Slow jog back to NIE tracks. Legs did not feel like they belonged to me by then.... Stretch stretch and more stretching.
