Small workout this morning. I ran the Providence hills loop adding a bit at the top to maximize the hills. The goal today was to hit the steep hills hard. Both the ups and downs. The flat sections were supposed to be at 7 min pace. I went 7:11 (warmup-flat), 6:41 flat, 7:14 slight up, 7:50 (killer uphill - easily a PR for this mile), .5 at 8:08 pace. That put me at the start of Providence canyon. Once there, I immediately turned around and focused on flying down the hill with the legs feeling like rubber. I went 5:41, 5:38, 6:34 (slight down), 6:37 (flat), 6:41 (flat), .5 at 6:45 pace. That is a lot of numbers, but I don't care what you think. I felt really good about my leg turnover on the downhills and also being able to push myself on the ups. This is my attempt to get faster leg turnover (by running downhill).
