Comment by Tim Bergsten on September 27, 2011 at 11:34am: Hey Jeff ... Jill is right. Stay consistent and your times will come down. Back in the day I trimmed my time by 15 minutes from April to October.

Comment by Jill Suarez on September 27, 2011 at 9:00am: Don't give up just work your way up to lower times jeff! Set your own pace and go from there ....

Comment by Jeff Gallup on September 27, 2011 at 8:40am: Wow... I have a long way to go.. I just want to break 45 for now :-). but I'll keep at it twice a week..

Comment by Tim Bergsten on September 27, 2011 at 8:32am: Nice work Mike Everson! And congrats to "Mr. Double," Michael Capshaw. You are Incline Gods.

Comment by Michael Capshaw on September 24, 2011 at 3:46pm: Did a double today. Up the Incline 29:50 then jogged back down the Incline. Back up the Incline 34:46 then jogged back down the Barr Trail. Blogged about it on my page if interested.

Comment by Michael Capshaw on September 21, 2011 at 3:05pm: 32:00 on Friday 9-16. Then I did a 29:10 on Saturday after running 3 miles in Palmer Park.

Comment by Nick Wilson on September 15, 2011 at 6:29pm: I was back in the springs a few weeks ago on leave and did the incline twice. I thought I was in the best shape of my life (although I had been in san antonio near sea level with little to no hills for 6 months) but I hadnt felt as much pain since the first time I ever tried it. I learned nothing can get you in shape for the incline except for actually doing it on a regular basis.
