I had emailed Don today about hill workouts to make sure we are following the general guidelines. I had asked how many and how long should we be running now. He recommends starting with three hill repeats for those on the Novice Plan, and four repeats for those on the intermediate plan to start. Each week after that, try to add one more repeat to your workout (never to exceed eight).The length of the hill work out should be between 1:00 and 1:30. Again, Intermediates may be uper end , and Novices on the lower end.
If you have not been adding an extra hill repeat, don't try to catch up all in one week. Just add one more to what you did last week. Remember, your last hill repeat should be just as fast as your first. If you are too tired, you ran to fast. Likewise, if you can sprint your last hill, you did not run hard enough.
