Hill Running

This is one of the toughest workouts I do. Ethel Avenue hills. It takes me about 9 minutes from my house to run at a warmup pace to the bottum of Rockford's hardest and most steady hill (in my opinion). It is a great place for running hill repeats. At just under a quarter mile, it slowly punishes you. Hills like these certainly make for a stronger runner though.

Today I did 8 hill repeats @ 1:30. My max heart rate for each hill is listed below. On the way back down the hill, I run as slow as possible and let my HR recover to mid 130's befor starting another hill.
