11M am including 9x1.35K up & down hill reps off 90s
This is the first time I've run this session so it was a bit trial and error. The aim was to find a 1K long hill that I could run hard up, turn, run hard down and then recover for 90 seconds before repeating. In the end the best I could easily find in the Heath was the run from the Lido to the top of Parliament Hill. It measures at more like 700m up. But the steepness of the hill felt like it made up for what it lacked in distance.
I was joined by Henry and Svenja who both seemed admirably eager to join in my Sunday morning masochism.It definitely made it easier to push myself through the session and I even had them split the task of pacing me up different sections of my final rep. Which was highly effective but did not prevent me from being effortlessly overtaken by yet another Highgate-ite as I stumbled the final few metres.
It was a cracking session. As proven by the mild headache and limb ache that I still have as I write this 10 hours later.
