HILLS

My 16 week program starts with 8 weeks of incorporating hill workouts with the idea that the tempo and interval runs that come in the last eight weeks will be well executed due to my increased fitness level from all of the hills. I get that. Central Park has some of the best hills around, particularly the North hills. Ouch. I mapped out a double loop where I run out about a mile, loop the North hills twice, then run back to make a total of four miles. Did I mention it is the most hot and humid summer on record for New York City? I ran the first half in 20:34 and the second in 20:32. Consistency, now that is what I'm talking about.
