On Wednesday, I drove down to Mars Hill to climb its mountain of the same name. The point is to run up the side as fast as possible in order to determine such physiological strengths as leg power, aerobic capacity, and lactate tolerance. Last July, I set the record for the climb at 12:44. That was with two months of good training. Last week, I was only a few seconds off of that time with only a few weeks of training, all of which could be considered counter-productive to hill running. It’s a good sign that I am on my way to a good season and haven’t been too lazy this spring.
