Hill Training

Wow! Last night my wife and I went on a hill run up a trail that we usually mountain bike. Many times as we are biking this trail my wife has commented on "how much easier running would be!" Well guess what? It's not! That hill was a bear. The awesome thing is though was the incredible calve burn going up and the otherworldly leg burn going down! My legs hurt all over today and along with the incredible amount of calories that we used and the working of the cardiovascular system makes hill running a hit! Just remember that running this way is extremely intense and should only be done once or twice every 7-10 days. This along with short but intense weight training and 2-4 other cardio sessions per week and you will be the envy of all your fat friends!
