early season, hill sprints (10x130m above 10% gradient) do very well to get your fitness up. after couple of week I do them once a week. gets me fast back on track.
I ran hills at the local MTB park while training for a 5K last month. I'm glad I did, because the entire last mile of the race was unexpectedly uphill. I thought "I'm okay, I trained for this", and I ran a time I was happy with.
You need to warm up very well before running hills. If you run hills on cold legs/muscles you have a high probability of getting serious foot injuries including extensor tendinitis and morton's neuroma. The importance of warming up should mandatory be a precursor to any video about running hills.
MAN!! There is this place down the road, its a gigantic hill, most use it for running, but I hated it, because until now I didn’t know how to master it.. If only it wasn’t frost bitten outside... Gotta put this off till summer
Hello, I have a question for you at GTN. What type and models of socks do you wear for different types of running, this is something I struggle on a lot . Thank you:)
It does depend on the environment, for racing short distances especially if hot I like thinner socks but then for distance blister prevention and comfort is key so go for something a little thicker. Also depends on your shoe fit too.
Luv hill training to feel the burn. Still early in my marathon training so I’m not sure if I’ve seen any noticeable benefit. But my upcoming vlog will have my hill training.
Train hard is what u need but if it just hard effort .. like on a flat U wasting effort .. Yes.. u will see gains but not much as u think.. I stArted running on an incline on the treadmill and im seeing results already ... as compared to my 1km repeats on flats
I'm trying to get back into running, but have noticed my left knee (on right hand side of knee cap ) is uncomfortable I've reserved over the weekend but really want push past it & get back out running, Any suggestions truly welcome, cheers 🍻 in advance.
Hope it's doing better, sounds like runners knee or perhaps I.t. band issue. I can tell you from experience it takes a long time to heal. Squats, clamshells, swimming, biking, and yoga are your friend. Most of all...patience, hope you're doing well.
I love hills but have been prone to Achilles Tendinitis. How do you suggest to warm up/cool down to keep the from getting it again? Or alternative to hills? Maybe with weights?
Well as you touched on warm up is key and solving the problem away from the hills first is probably your best bet as running uphill does put a lot of pressure on the calves and achilles.
2:50 I'm not sure what is your target group but are you seriously telling beginners to run "Hard as you can" 20 sec uphill 6 friken times after one other and you expect a beginner to recover on they way down because one walks the way down. yeah, sure. Do you also tell beginners to make 20 chin ups and do the recovery at the way back down because the real hard work is pulling up. You clearly have no concept of working with beginners since no effort was paid for the heath symptoms while exercising. OMG this is a second video I have seen from your channel because I thought it can't be that bad but they both have been just disappointing. So sad.
Do you use hills for run training? Do you have a go to hill that you use? Share them with us!
I am faster walking uphill then running
I live in Pontypool S.Wales , it's all hills here , so I run hills all the time
I don't have long hills in my region :(

My driveway is a hill!

I always see massive benifits to hill running as I'm working on fitness and less speed work.
Kenyan Hills has also become a favourite now
This hill is so beautiful with lots of green grass and the atmosphere is so great for relaxation and exercise
I love training in hills.
First hill session yesterday in prep a hill marathon. Achey & scared 😀
A+ for information and scenery. One of the most effective and comprehensive exercises imvho. Great add to the tool box. Thanks for sharing!
Nothing like a great hill workout!
Love the video, thanks heather
Love running Hills but as you get older they hurt more :) Still enjoyable
Think they always hurt, but then more gain as a result :)
Cool..Food for thought..I'll give it a try..Thanks..
What % grade is typically considered to be "good" for us who have to live life on a treadmill for over half the year?
It depends on what your session is and the outcome. Go by what pace you can hold at the chosen gradient to find what suits you.
If I'm training at the gym every week do you still reccomend hills in training programme or that could be too much?
Yes personally I think running hill springs once a week is great for your training program
Great advice!
Thanks for watching!

Enjoy it once summer is back !
I feel running hills is more easier than straight ways. Am I doing something wrong?
@@sophielewis2232 LMAO imagine if he was really that dumb and wondering why running down hills are easier than running straights xd
perfect suggestions

I have no choice to run hills in training as I live in a valley! Sure, I could avoid them, but where’s the fun in that?
Gardner street in Glasgow (Google images) that's a tough hill I do, but not for reps, once is enough lol. Half way point in an 11k route I do
There arent really big hills where i live just really small ones and the gym is clossed what do i do now?

Is there any benefit to doing Hill Repeats/reps on a treadmill?
Yes
Yes if that's your only option a treadmill can work too.
Can you build muscle with hill sprinting
no doubt my glutes were on fire today after doing em
@@AWGZM how many days do you sprint for
@@mariaali9846 personally ive only started this week but ive gone 3 times in 5 days just eat enough protein and carbs for recovery
My leg strength training in Käferberg,Zurich.
