Lämmchen's Workout Thread

It depends what you mean by a better workout and seeing results.

Hills are probably better for working your CV system but will naturally result in having to work harder to cover less ground more slowly.

I think with my hashimotos that harder workouts actually don't help and my body gets more inflamed.

If a hilly workout does mean overdoing it then you would see better results from a more gentle workout.

Speed repeats today. My suggested workout was 8-minute threshold intervals but I didn't feel like doing that. Truth be told I didn't feel like running at all after working with soundproofing material but decided to go out anyway. The first few minutes are a gentle-ish warmup, then I started running harder up the hills. It's good to get the system working hard.

There is hunting going on at a trail that my husband and I like to hike on, so we've been avoiding that until January comes again. So we're back at our favorite county park, but I've only felt like walking the paved trail there recently. I'm finding that it's harder to walk on blacktop than the rocky trails I normally hike on.
