Workouts

Moderate Hill Repeats

Hills in this should not be incredibly steep, but more gradual so that they can be run at race pace. Form is very important in these repeats. Remember to adjust form accordingly: shorter strides, more of a forward lean, increase arm swing and stride frequency so that you don't break cadence.

Example 1: Repeats

8 x 45 to 90 second hills (pay close attention to form)
Sample hills are Pine Street Hill, Ravenwood, Syringa

Example 2: Ladders

Find a good long hill like the Ravenwood hill.

300 meters up, then back to start
400 meters up, then back to start
300 meters up, then back to start
200 meters up, then back to start

Distances can vary based on the hill incline and workout goal.
