Workout for August 3rd

Head for the hills Ladies!

Beginner - 5 hills
Intermediate - 6 hills
Advanced - 7 hills

Find a hill that takes approximately 2-3 minutes to run/walk up. It should be a medium incline. Not so steep that you can't run up it but it should be noticeable.

Run Up. Walk Down.

The walk is your recovery time. So use it. Don't worry about speed, the point of this is simply to get up the hill multiple times.

If you are running these on a treadmill set it for an incline at a decent speed and then significantly slower on the decline. Try 3 minutes up 2 minutes down for 20-25 minutes depending on your pace.

This is another tough short workout. Hills help us build our muscle strength as well as our aerobic output without increasing distance. Hills also focus on muscles that we don't use as much in flat running.
