Building power and fatigue resistance.

This was a big workout and I was sore for many days after. Every few months I give myself a big stimulus that will take a while to recover from. This was one of those. It’s actually been over 6 months since I’ve done a hill workout with this aggressive of an incline. I’m sure feeling those downhills now. Just over 2100ft of gain and loss in 6 miles.

Why hills?

Hill intervals are one of the most effective workouts for runners. They combine the benefits of speed work, strength training, and endurance conditioning all in one session.

Running uphill recruits more muscle fibers in your glutes, hamstrings, quads, and calves.

Hills naturally enforce proper running mechanics:
•	Shorter, quicker strides
•	Upright posture
•	Strong knee drive

Hope this encourages some of you to add them into your training!
