Fast miles at altitude!

15M - double; recovery run & mile rep session
5M am recovery run at ~7.30min/M
10M pm alternating fast (5.33-5.38min/M) and slow (7.00min/M) miles - with hill

I'm in the Alps! I was thinking that I would only be able to run on a treadmill this week, but now I'm here, I find 1) the roads are clear of snow and 2) the nearest treadmill is a 15min drive away. So I thought I'd give the road a go.

I did a little reconnoiter this morning to establish my surroundings and the best plan for this evening.

The evening session was a 'fast and slow' miles session. The lie of the land meant that the fast miles were HARD - mainly up hill and harder because of the altitude (I guess - 1300m). But I hit good speeds and felt good. My slow miles were slower as a result. But the session worked well as a whole and I was dead by the end. Good fun.
