Hills

Hills,affectionately known as "Hells" by anyone who has done them, is an interval training protocol that, while not a high intensity protocol, is an effective alternative to steady state cardio known to bring up V02max quickly. I did these on the treadmill today at 3.5 miles per hour. For my purposes, I'm going to call this endurance training.

Oh, and I took the dogs for a leisurely 40 min walk this morning. Today was a good day to walk, I guess.
