With City to Surf only 10 days away, Tim and I decided to create our own hills session after work. We decided to follow the same route that the Hurts guys do, up Argyle Street and then around to Observatory Hill. About 600m all up based on the Garmin.
After an easy jog warm up we got straight into it with Tim haring off like a startled whippet for the first couple. Reps 1-5 seemed to pass quite easily with the HR returning to normal during the jog recovery down the stairs. From 6 onwards things got a little tougher although we managed to keep the times honest throughout. Kind of.
After a comfort break between reps 6 and 7, we pushed the last 3 hard, managing to get the best time for the last interval…although that probably means we weren’t really pushing ourselves as hard as we should have.
Times went: 2.37, 2.40, 2.41, 2,41, 2.44, 2.46, 2.44, 2.45, 2.41, 2.37.
All up we covered about 10.5km in just over an hour, although the Garmin appears to have lost us a few times over the set and at one point had us somewhere on the Harbour Bridge! A great session though and one I would like to repeat before the C2S a week on Sunday.
