Running around my hometown is relatively flat. The rail trail is a great place to run, but is flat and requires an out and back. So I went a little longer than I needed to get the big hill and make it more of a loop. It felt cool at 70f but quickly felt the humidity as I set out through town. <\/p>\n
It was about a mile and a half to the bottom of the big hill out of town heading West on County Road 550. There is a paved trail from town to the school and once I got there I switched to running the roads. <\/p>\n
The workout was 6×400 with 300m rest. It took two intervals to get over the hill before turning down Dexter Road and getting onto the Paint Creek Recreational Trail. I had never actually been this far West on the trail. It wasn’t really any different than the rest of the trail. It brought me to the end of my intervals and further from home than I had hoped. <\/p>\n
To run to the trailhead and home would have added way to much distance as would finishing out a loop. So I just ran home on a different street through town. <\/p>\n
All in all a good run, lots of sweaty goodness! <\/p>\n
My intervals looked good too. I don’t get many flat ones so here they are. The first two were uphill and the middle two were downhill or flat and the last ones were flat. <\/p>\n
