HHM Challenge - Run #26

Hills, hills, and hills. Today's run, which was suppose to be run yesterday, but due to family obligations (had to watch my kids) I didn't get it in, was my first attempt at running hills for this training period.

Here are my numbers for today's run:

Max HR	181	168	fine
Calories Burned		553	total: 14951

This run was an interesting one. Right from the start I just didn't seem to be into running. I've been feeling tired the past 2 days and that may be it, but no time for excuses. So I ended up walking more than I had planned leading up to the start of the hill. Also, the distance to this hill is 1.7km, but according to my training schedule it should be 3km, and because I was feeling tired, I took a different route back cutting my total distance even shorter than expected. As for my pace, while going up the hill, it average around 6:07, which turned out to be too fast, as it should average the same as my Tempo runs. With my average HR, because I walked more leading up to the hill, and then walked a good part back down the hill each time, my average was below where it should be, but while I was going up the hill, my HR was at (or higher, I didn't watch it closely) the range it needed to be in. Overall, not a great run, but still got it in and that is what counts. Tomorrow's run (which is really today's scheduled run) may not happen, we will see.
