Wow, I never fail to be inspired by the running talent and perseverance here! 20 miles on the trail...that's gotta be equivalent to a road marathon as trails are trickier, at least the ones around here (curves, roots, rocks, wet leaves, etc!)

I haven't run outside lately but did manage 4.5 on the treadmill today. I've been doing intervals of flat vs incline. I change every .25 miles from flat to a grade, starting at 1% and working up to a couple 2% and 3% grade quarter-miles. I go slower on the "climbs" and faster on the "flats" so it's more like an outdoor run and seems to help my hillwork when I do get outside to run or even just hike.

Felt really strong today!
