#100happydays Day 83 Hill Training

Hill Training Motivation from Get Out There Magazine
This morning was the first day of a weekly rotation of hill training. Only 4 hills today but over the next few weeks the number of repeats will increase as will the angle and length of hill.
Hill training is a necessary evil when training for a race. We often skip speed work to work on our strength (as well as improve our form) and hills do that.

Hills – Down and up. (The hill is actually a lot longer and steeper than it looks here. I’m just not too good at capturing it with my camera.)
There are lots of different ways to approach hill training. Check out these tips in Runners World.
The best way is just to do them.
