Well, I did those peripheral arterial disease (PAD) painful and enjoyable hill repeats, ten in all, and they worked out well. Here’s my PAD hill repeats training adventure for the day.

PAD Hill Repeat Report
- All 10 – mild cardiovascular effort – solution, conditioning you lazy buggar.
- #4 pain in right tibialis anterior tendon, almost certainly nociceptive (warning) pain – solution, relax foot as it leaves the ground – fixed.
- #7 tight right psoas – solution, increase shoulder-hip counterrotation to unload hip flexors, relax hips – fixed.
- #8 tingling little toes on right foot (suspect poor vascular perfusion) on walk descent – solution, stretch right lateral hamstring prior to next ascent – helped somewhat.
- #10 sprinted and felt great, but PAD had other thoughts once I stopped running – aging is fun, if you make it fun.
Wishing you happy trails,
