Up and down endurance AKA Hill Repeats.

Find a good, long hill and start with a 30-45 min easy run, into…

    • 30 seconds run uphill
    • jog back to start
    • 1 minute run uphill
    • jog back to start
    • 90 seconds run uphill
    • jog back to start
    • 2 minutes run uphill
    • jog back to start
    • 150 seconds run uphill
    • jog back to start
    • 3 minutes run uphill
    • jog back to start

Notes:

• Your job, immediately following an easy 30-45 min run, is to perform hill repeats.

• Starting at 30 seconds, run smooth and consistent up the hill then, right back to where you started. There is no rest between up and down.

• To repeat, you will not rest at the bottom of the hill. You go right back up!
