Another day of steep climbing work. If you leave off the last 250 feet or so, which are about a 3% grade, the remaining 0.81 mile climb has an average grade of over 14%. There are always some other runners on the hill — it’s the nearest (and I bet the steepest) hill around.
What I’m finding now is that it’s primarily an issue of breath and not so much the legs. That classic “can’t get enough air.” It’ll get better.
Today’s run was an approximately one mile warm-up run and two climbs of a 0.87 mile hill. Pace overall was 11:14. Weight was 146.6.
