In the next 2 years I'd like to complete three 50 milers and a hundred miler before I turn 40. I'd like to break 5 hour marathon and then a 4:45 marathon and then keep improving. I’m starting to think I’ll hit 100 miles before I see a sub 5 hour marathon…..Geez.

I ended up doing my hill repeats on a tread mill today. My kids are home from school and the gym has a family room where your kids can play in a glassed off room while you run on the treadmill 3 feet away. I kept the warm up short and the cool down was non-existent. (Bad me).

I ended up doing 5 repeats with my hills set at a 4.5% - 5.5% grade. I honestly thougth I was going to die. I must have set the treadmill grade or the pace too high. The treadmillheart rate monitor only goes up 180 BPM so I had to cool off just to come down to that level. Geez!

Yikes! You were really pushing it. I did a hill workout on a treadmill one time and it nearly killed me. I'd much rather run on real hills. After you go up a real hill, you typically get to go back down. I wish the treadmills could do a negative incline. I've heard that some do, but never one that I've seen.
