Hill repeats today, 6x30s ALL OUT UPHILL BATTLE with 4min recovery. That last one I did up to about 45-60 seconds, oh my. It was probably about 4 miles of actual running, all told, I didn't get a chance to download.
I ran them in my VFFs. Lesson learned: relax the ankles. Running in the VFFs has made all those muscles I tried to grow during PT for my hip feel stronger (and even sore). Today, running those hill repeats really made my glutes and outsides of my upper legs/quads sore. My ankles and calves are tired, but feel really good (relaxing the ankles helped).
Next stop, long run on Sunday. I am traveling next week and debating doing part or all of the long run in shoes so I can do my Tues/Thurs runs on the treadmill both in the VFFs. It will be nice to not carry heavy (by comparison) shoes, if so.![]()
