NO. Figure it out yourself lazy-ass. Thanks.

what is your recent race time at any distance and how old are you?Then I'll give you an answer.

Please don't. Lazy people need to learn their lesson or give this information up-front, not have people wait on their hand and foot.

Remember a good hill sprint has you jog back down the hill. Be sure to turn around with the treadmill still set at incline, facing the back of the treadmill, after each sprint and jog down.

Do them at 6%-8% incline and use hillrunner's chart.

I think that chart is not accurate. Daniels has one - idk if you can get it without buying the book.

This is what I do. Typically 20-30 seconds.

It doesn't matter if the chart is perfectly accurate. Use it as a guide and figure out paces that work well for you.

Agree re: chart.

If working on real sprint ability, do 8-10 sec and rest 2 mins between. Just stay safe the first session- it’s ok if you don’t truly sprint- but use the session to be able to sprint the next time you use a mill for hill sprints.

Shorter actual sprints of 8-10 seconds a la Magness are also an option. Depends what you are trying to accomplish.

Wear spikes.
