Hike (With pack) 40:00 [3] 2.35 mi (17:01 / mi)
ahr:136 max:160
Treadmill
Put on pack w/ kitty litter "training partner" (28 lb total)
got on treadmill at 3.5 mph and 3% incline
Every 5 minutes, increased incline 1% until at minutes 30-35, it was at 9%
Then, for minutes 35-40, decreased to 2% incline for cool down/recovery. Pace was kept constant.
This was a lot harder than it sounded in my head when I planned it out. I actually was planning another 5 minutes, but had to get back to work. It burned my calves pretty much the whole time, but it got really challenging the last 10 minutes and I could feel the stress on my body toward the end. Gotta train for those hills and mountains that we don't have! Shins were starting to hurt around the last 5-10 minutes.
If I had more time, this would have been really good as an interval workout. Perhaps do 10 minutes at 8%, recover for 5 minutes at 2% or something.
