June 6th – Hill Repeats

hill repeats

Today’s hill repeats should be run on a relatively steep hill. It should be long enough to take at least 30 seconds to reach the top. The idea is to run at a hard effort for 30 seconds on each rep. Then after 30 seconds, stop, turn around and take a slow jog recovery down the hill. Then turn and go right back up once you reach the bottom.

3 sets of 5 x 30 second repeats
2 minute static recovery between sets (standing still at the bottom of the hill after each set of 5 reps)

COACHING TIP: Hills are a great way to get a speed, strength and aerobic capacity workout done in a single session. Focus on good form, running tall, good high knees, and strong arm drive.
