Hill work today. Hills seem to scare and hurt me every race so I need to face my fears.Drove to a area not far from my house that has a winding (nothing but hills ) road.The road is about 1 1/2 miles long and some of the hills are STEEP!!This was my first time to run this area and it was nothing but tough! I hope that the old saying (no pain, no gain) is true.

Yeah, as much as people hate it, hill work is pretty good for you. Where did you do your run? (assuming it is around the Falkville/Hartselle/Decatur area)

I ran the hills at a road behind Round Top church southwest of Falkville.There are a couple that is hard to walk up!Rough looking neighborhood also.(keeps you going)

Short fast sprints up hills always helped my form get more efficient I believe. You develop a knack after a while for them.

Get some of your biking friends and challenge them to a race up a steep long hill with you running and them on a bike. Bet them a cheeseburger and a beer that you can beat them up it. It'll be the best cheeseburger you ever tasted.
