Recovering from Peak 8


Matt and I completed the Peak 8 challenge this morning. We jogged about 3/4 of a mile to a nice hill. We alternated running up 8 times for 30 seconds and walking down 8 times for 90 seconds. Hill was perfect. Took pretty much exactly the 30 seconds to climb it at a nice fast pace. How funny is it to try to count 8 trips when your brain is oxygen deprived!

Wasn't as dreadful as we expected, will definitely add it to the program two times a week. Probably do the hill once a week and bike for the other. I guess the track would work also.

The bonus was the dog did it with us.....he loved it! Interestingly it is how he runs on the trails with me. He will sniff around and hang back and then dash to catch up to me......ummmmm. He is a Peak 8 beast for sure! And he knows how to recover properly....as you can see!
