A Killer "Hill" Treadmill workout
I had to get in a hill workout for my half marathon training and couldn't run outside so I hopped on the ole treadmill and since I love my interval workouts, here is what I did.
Workout: The Pyramid
5 minute slow warm up jog
Set 1: steady pace(5-5.5) 1 minute each @ 4, 5 and 6 percent incline
2-3 minutes recovery @ flat jog
Set 2: steady pace 1 minute each @ 5, 6 and 7 percent incline
2-3 minutes recovery @ flat jog
Set 3: steady pace 1 minute each @ 6, 7 and 8 percent incline
2-3 minutes recovery @ flat jog
Set 4: steady pace 1 minute each @ 7, 6 and 5 percent incline
2-3 minutes recovery @ flat jog
Set 5: steady pace 1 minute each @ 6, 5 and 4 percent incline
2-3 minutes recovery @ flat jog
5 minute cool down at 4-5
It hurt, it hurt bad...but was as great workout! Enjoy
Vary your steady pace to your limit. 5-5.5 started getting really tough for me...so gauge it by your own ability level.
Sweat Much?
