I live in the mountains of NC and I love to go trail running. Today I did a 9 mile run. The first 3 miles were uphill. 800 feet of elevation to tackle, hard for sure but it feels good. I'd like to try some hill repeats too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387275476617323454.post-83164182088060210082011-06-17T11:55:46.222-04:002011-06-17T11:55:46.222-04:00Way to go ladies!

I have never formally attacked a "hill repeat" workout though since the hills just come at me (at varying distance and elevation) during my route but have been contemplating doing so. What distance should the hill be to be most effective?Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05920256842347863670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387275476617323454.post-44847748988174432722011-06-17T11:14:19.425-04:002011-06-17T11:14:19.425-04:00Ugg I hate hills but training on them makes you ru...Ugg I hate hills but training on them makes you run so much better!
