Hills - your choice
Your choice on how you want to attack some hills today. Make sure you get in a warm up before you start the hill portion of the workout and cool down when you are finished. Both warm up and cool down should be 1.5 to 2 miles. Have a great workout with one of the options listed below. Judge your recovery and your total workout on how tired you are. If you are tired at the beginning of your second hill give yourself a little more rest. The same goes for the finish of your workout. If you are not recovering very well after 5 to 8 good hill repeats you are probably done with the fast part of the workout. have a great day. Sting
Hill Repeats: Find a hill and do multiple repeats on the up side of the hill, turn around run down smoothly-don't pound and repeat when you get to the bottom. Try to get a little quicker each time up. Focus on good arms and, a bit of knee lift and pushing off all the way through your toes.
Hilly Route: Just find a route with some hills and when you come to a hill attack the upside of the hill and the practice running the downhill side smoothly and not jarring and braking on the way down.
