Day 013 - Use your arms

16-minute uphill run (level 4)        Training via ActiveMail

DO AN 18-MINUTE UPHILL (UP) RUN AT LEVEL 4 INTENSITY (80-90% of MHR): Warm up for 10-15 minutes with easy- to moderate-paced running. This week, go back to your moderately steep hill. (Remember, "moderately steep" means a 3-6% grade -- gradual enough that you can still run or ride, but steep enough that you know you're climbing.)Run up for three minutes, keeping your HR at level 4. Rest for three minutes by jogging back down the hill. Repeat this sequence three times. Cool down for 10 minutes by jogging or walking. Focus your attention on your arms while you're running uphill -- they can help provide lift and keep you moving forward up the hill.
