Saturday Hills

Its been a couple of weeks since I was up and down the hills, so this morning it was back along Meguro River and to the Aobadai hill circuit. I did eight, one more than the previous maximum. Each loop is 700 m and the uphill takes 79 to 80 seconds. It is is a bit of a brute too. But the temperature, at 20 degrees, was much cooler than all the other times.

On the aerobic sections my pace was slower running at 135 to 140 HR today. It might have been because the course is a little stop-start, or it might have been because of the later start (metabolism). Running after the hill workout from the Aobadai to Meguro Bridge came out at 4:40/km, but heart rate was mostly around or a little over 140. So that is a slight contrast to me "easy" run of 4:30/km at the same heart rate a few days ago.
