Whether you’ve picked one of the toughest run courses in triathlon or a race with a flat run, your training regimen should include regular hill workouts.
Love ’em or hate ’em, hills are your friend. Whether you’ve picked one of the toughest run courses in triathlon or a race with a flat run, you should include hill workouts in your training regimen. Why? Hill repeats are hard, and as the saying goes, the hard is what makes it great. Hill repeats are an excellent way to build strength, improve speed, and get some confidence – nothing gets a day started better than running a few hills before breakfast!
