Trail hill session

Repeats up and down a hilly trail: power hiking or running the climbs and practising quick steps on the way down.

Duration
≈ 60 min

The session

  1. Warm up: 15 min easy on flat or rolling trail.
  2. 6 × 3 min uphill: run what you can, power hike the steep parts.
  3. Come down each time at an easy pace, practising short, quick downhill steps.
  4. Cool down: 10 min easy.

Tips

  • Keep the effort even going up; it is not a sprint.
  • Poles help on long, steep climbs.
