Short Video on Facebook:
I did about a mile to warm up, then at the base of a short but steep hill on the dirt road I did some hill repeats.
- Pick a hill to run up.
- Go up as fast as you can.
- Walk down.
- Repeat.
Hill Repeats sound simple, right?
My hill today was pretty short, about 80' of elevation gain in a little over a hundred yards. I was able to get in just under 8:00 pace running up it. I did 10 laps of the hill, walking gently down. I also train running down, but that would be another article.
I've got another hill near me that is about 200' high over a little less than a half mile and I normally do only 5 or 6 repeats on that one. It just depends on your goals and your training programming. Mix it up a bit and see what works for your own circumstances.
