In preparation for the
MMT 100, I went over to our fitness center tonight and walked for a half hour on a 15% grade at 3.5 mph, then walked for another half hour on a 10% grade. It was amazing how much better the 2nd half of my workout felt even though I was still at a decent incline. This seems to be a great way to mentally trick the body and I'm hoping to gradually increase the intensity/duration of these workouts as I progress. I felt great though during & after my workout tonight, which is a good early sign of my leg strength.

I'm going to jump on the "dreadmill" this Saturday to walk. I refuse to run on that thing. I'm going to do exactly what you did. This method seems like a great prep tool for gaining walking strength for the 100. I'm also using it to force me NOT to run on Saturday and to taper to the 50K!
Very nice!!
Yea! Way to work it!
Wow Brian - that is a great workout...makes me want to see if I can do it on mine, but I think mine only goes to 12% incline.
Sounds like a Gombu repeat if I ever heard of one. And sounds like a GREAT way to do well at 100 training. You are going to appreciate all the groundwork you put in come race day.
Keep it up, Brian!
Thanks everyone!
OMG, you took the camera to the fitness center?!
::insert rolling eyes here:: :-P
