It’s been a long process 🥵 and honestly most of the time I thought I wasn’t improving (bc hills are always just hard), but today I did a similar workout to one I did in February and was able to run a 30-40sec faster per mile pace during these reps. I’m not an expert, but here are some of the things I did to improve on hills:
1) hill strides 2-3x/week
2) low weight, high rep step-ups
3) doing hilly routes on easy runs 1-2x/week
4) doing about half of my threshold work uphill
5) focusing on a forward lean during uphills
Now I’m just hoping this improvement can translate into racing haha
