Hill Sprint: 200 M by 5 Sets

I did hill sprint today. It was a first training session after Sakura Kenko Marathon 2017 on March 26. I jogged to a 200 M hill about a kilometer down a straight road from home. It is located at the end of so-called the water-pipe road that has a long water pipe running along it underground.

Today's result is as follows:
1.5 K jog: 10:58.85
1st 200 M uphill sprint: 36.67
200 M downhill jog: 2:13.58
2nd 200 M uphill sprint: 39.84
200 M downhill jog: 2:30.40
3rd 200 M uphill sprint : 40.01
200 M downhill jog: 2:29.93
4th 200 M uphill sprint: 39.06
200 M downhill jog: 2:34.87
5th 200 M uphill sprint: 40.71
1.5 K jog: 12:04.12
Total 4 K: 36:08.04

Toward the end of the 5th round I felt my legs getting heavier.
It takes less than 30 minutes to bring yourself to this level of exhaustion.
That's the power of hill sprints.
I highly recommend it to those who want to improve their cardio,
but who don't have time to go to a gym, nor any fitness equipment at home.
