by Larry EderHills change your attitude. I embraced the hills early in my career, and knew I could get up a hill fast, and fly down the back of the hill. I do recall ending a 10,000m brutal cross country event with the last 300m completely uphill. i put my head down and just charged to the top, passing a guy in the final meters and feeling a bit, well, sick.
Hills were our weapon of choice in junior college. 4 weeks of hills and we could get anyone fit. It was fun, and a learning experience.
