5 myles - 1.00:45

3:00 P.M. - Treadmill
rain, mid 40s
mind/body - good
easy effort

Prescribed workout: 30-60 minutes walking

Actual workout: 5 myles 1.00:45 avg. 4.90 MPH. 3 laps @ 4.1, 1 lap @ 7.0 @ 12% repeated 4 times - last mile @ 8.0

My weekly walk. It's getting easier to maintain 4.1 MPH @ 12% as opposed to two weeks ago when I struggled to keep 3.8 MPH @ 12%. No question this is gonna help me during HR! Transitioning from walking to running and back to walking at an incline is what HR is all about.

I finished my 3rd straight week above 70 myles (this week 75) all while getting an average of 10,000 of vert in per week. Next week I'll get a little less myles but even more quality stuff with elevation and then start a two week taper leading into Miwok.

So I've been aiming to 10,000 vert but I hadn't given the walk time much thought. I think I'll incorporate it starting this next week.
I'm anxious to see how Miwok goes for you, settle the score...
