Random hill workout on treadmill. Level 10.

5 minutes at 6.0 mph

15 minutes at 6.5 mph

5 minutes at 7.0 mph

This week's hill workout was much better than last week. I hit the edge of what I could do right at the end. So now I have a baseline to build from. Unfortunately, I left my form droop a little at the end. Next week I want to do a similar workout but on level 11.

As part of this, I ran about 3 miles at 8:00 pace. I felt like running longer but decided to keep it an easy run.

1 mile warmup and cooldown.

6 miles at 7:30 pace

1 mile at 7:00 pace

I've been increasing the pace slightly each week on my long runs. I'm trying to find the sweet spot where it's fast enough to feel it's a challenge and to energize me but not so fast that it feels like a tempo run. This week felt about right. I don't know if I'll increase the pace much after this for now. I've been adding a mile to my long run each week, and that has been great because I'm not going too long too soon (I hope), but it also helps me feel like I'm progressing.

I've also been trying to increase my weekly mileage each week this year, and this week was a jump of almost 4 miles. Part of it was running instead of playing basketball.

 84 miles for the month. Maybe someday I'll make it on the mileage board. :)
