WOW Workout Of the Week Treadmill Hill Intervals

Ugh.  The treadmill.  Or as some say, the dreadmill.  But with the winter that we have had, it has been a lifesaver, or a run saver I guess.  I am one of those people who rarely spends more than 30 minutes on a machine.  I get SOOOO bored.  That changed recently when I had to do several, several, long runs on it for my half marathon training.  But I am happily back to my 30 minute max.  And I do intervals to pass the time. 

This is a running workout.  But you can certainly take the pace down and do the same workout walking!!  Or, obviously, if you are a fast runner you can certainly take the pace up!
