On the Saturday run, you have a 50 minute run with 10 minutes of hills. My suggestion is to find some god-awful long grind and push up it for ten minutes, cough once or twice and jog back down. Once you have survived the hill, then, take a conversational pace, noting my insanity. You will thank me at the conference meet.
Remember, athletics is about delayed gratification.
