Hill running

[gally]

i have a hill close to my home that is steep and takes just over 20 mins to run up (running in intervals) and about 17 mins as a steady jog to get down. Ihave been doing this twice a wk for the last few wks and feel better for it. I am training towards next season amateurs and havent had a fight yet. do u think this hill running will help me?

To no end...

yes definitely, it makes it more difficult but that is what you want.

Gally One thing if you do lots of hill work, spend some time Streching your Hamstrings and your Achilles and Calves very important

[AdamGB]

I'll vouch for that... a combination of doing loads and loads of hill work and heavy lifting using my legs has left my with a bad case of 'snapping hip'.

If I'd stretched a bit more when I developed it then it would never have gotten like this.

Im jealous I have been looking for a good hill to run. Yours sounds great! I use to run up a hill by a freeway at my old gym to do sprints. It gave me lots of stamina

keep it up
