Giants Despair & Bike Tabata

6.10.10 - 1 mile hill run at Giants Despair.
http://www.pahillclimb.org/Courses/Giants.htm
Didn't do much of a warmup because how can you remember prep yourself for the giant! I ran it in 15 minutes. It is a pretty serious hill with over a .25 at 22 % grade. Happy to get it done. Now I want to get better at it! My heart rate spiked all the way to 229 today while doing this! I am surprised because I didn't even know it went that high! I walked back down not wanting to put any pounding into my sore feet. I had my kinesio tape on and now I am in an ice bath. They don't feel too bad at least not yet. I was pretty tired afterwards, it was a slower than usual commute to work on my bike. Then Tabata bike intervals for 16 rounds. had minimal traffic interruption. Will try to do this as earlier in the morning next time.

  1. Wow MaryStella that seems like a huge hill. Way to push through it! That HR is seriously high. When I added my schedule, I was editing my profile I think.
