Fitness Friday - Hill Training Treadmill

I'm taking to the hills today...treadmill style. Tim has been away ALL week...5 days as single mom and things went pretty well. A few meltdowns, pukes and sniffles along the way...I do miss getting outside of the house for a workout though...especially with the gorgeous fall weather! If you do treadmill running, you want to ensure you up the ante every now and then. No course is completely FLAT so running on a "0" incline is not representative of the real road. Try this simple hill workout this weekend to get those hip flexors working and the heart pounding! Slowly jog for 5 minutes. 2 minutes steady pace at 4% incline Recover (easy pace) for 2 minutes. 2 minutes steady pace at 5% incline Recover (easy pace) for 2 minutes. 2 minutes steady pace at 6% incline Recover (easy pace) for 2 minutes. 2 minutes steady pace at 7% incline Recover (easy pace) for 2 minutes. 2 minutes steady pace at 6% incline Recover (easy pace) for 2 minutes. 2 minutes steady pace at 5% incline Recover (easy pace) for 2 minutes. 2 minutes steady pace at 4% incline Recover (easy pace) for 2 minutes. Slowly jog for 5 minutes.
