My goal this morning was to do an Afton Trail Run simulation so I climbed and ran down Jack's Hill a total of seven times.
Here is the profile of one half of the Afton Trail Run:

Here is the profile of the run I did:

I had a great time. It wasn't too hot, but it was very humid and rained for about half the time I was out there. It rained just enough to keep the trail soft, but not enough to make it sloppy.
I was happy with my effort, just nine more days until the Afton Trail Run 50K!

Jack's Hill...nature's stairclimber!
Why hill training?? We aint got no hills in Minnesota :)
Your mean Mr Maas.
I am in the same boat - By nature a flatland pavement pusher. This year I drive 1x a week 30 minutes each way to do hill repeats and 1x a week 60 minutes each way for a hilly trail run.
It will serve you well - Now for a nice taper.
Have a great race!
