"Easy" Hill Run

Last night's run was to be outdoors for 6 miles with hill training. It rained, so I was on the treadmill using a hill program, set at a 5.5 incline. I ran 3 miles of that, then I ran 1.1 miles at a regular incline. For the record I did not run the whole 3 miles at that incline. It was a gradual incline program.

I decided not to run the whole 6 miles. I want to save as much as I can for the 16 mile run this week. My fear is the hard running in this heat has taken a toll on my body, so I want to still run, but have something for the long run.

I had this problem of not finishing long runs during my last training, and I get worried about it. I know I can finish the race. I want to do more than finish though. I want that sub-6 hour time.
