I have made a resolution to run in the RockRace in Wurzburg,
Germany. This is 18km with a steep hill of 300m and 50 obstacles and it sounds
awesome. The best part is I was stationed there in the 80s while serving in the
best army in the world (3ID is the best division as well). I've always wanted
to return for a visit and I have chosen an obstacle course race to do so. This
300m incline winds to a castle, an old church, vineyards and more. That means
tons of hill work. This practice will also prepare me for Bonefrog, SavageRace
and other venues taking place in the Georgia hills around Atlanta. The run was
tough and only half the distance and elevation of the race. More practice to go.
Run 10k with a steep grade:
Run 1.25 miles easy
Find steep grade (I had 611 feet over 1.75 miles up hill)
Run sprint sets on the way back.
1.75 miles provided 1/4 mile sprints over 1.75 miles and
the following 1.25 miles.
