The hill workouts have been going on now for over six weeks, and you get stronger each and every week. This week, you will notice that we cut back from twelve to ten repeats. Try running the hills a bit faster today, and then, jog down easily, and repeat. On your two mile run afterwards, run at a good pace, and then, cooldown.
