Uphill treadmill is my best friend (or maybe frenemy 🤔)
As someone who is a lower mileage runner, uphill threshold helps me get the same time in my threshold zone with fewer miles & less impact. It’s a great way to get the biggest bang for every mile and reduce my injury risk. I also can easily over analyze my threshold pace, but when it’s uphill, it’s all about effort. I just keep an eye on my heart rate (which I track using my corosglobal arm HR monitor & Pace 4), and let my overthinking brain relax.
Some of my fave workouts:
5-10x5min with 90sec-2min rest
3-4x10min with 2min rest
10/8/6/4/2/1 with 2min rest
For all of these, I do the warm-up, workout, rest, and cool-down at 8% grade. I adjust the speed to hit the correct heart rate zone, starting at the lower end of my threshold zone, and allowing HR to drift up throughout the workout. My rest also usually gets slower throughout the workout 😂
To anyone who wants accurate data, I would highly recommend corosglobal ! You can ...
