Prepare for Boston: First hill bounding

This morning was the first hill bounding session. Getting up at 4am is a real pain.

There weren't many of us this morning. I guess not everyone is going to Boston this year, or 4:45am is too darn early, or the Austin Marathon & Half Marathon is close.

Thursday is a repetition day on the track. I'm racing on Saturday (Buffalo Wallow cross country) so I'll get up at 4am but will probably modify my part of the workout.

For those folks who aren't racing Saturday, the workout starts at 4:45am and is as follows:
Warm-up of 2-3 miles
3x200; 5x400; 3x200 at repetition pace with full recoveries on the track
Cool-down of 2-3 miles

As always, details of the workouts and training program are at www.runbayou.com

Cheers,
