I have been running the same hill for the last few months. I figure it's about 200 meters give or take a few steps. I am up to 16 reps now. The question is at this point should l try to run them faster and do less or what? I use my training shoes for this workout. To get faster should l do less and faster?
Sounds like a solid workout for you.
Maybe do a set where you are very focused on bounding (pronounced motion).
Another day, after the bounding focus, perhaps run only a few but faster.
Then you might go back to the usual workout and see how much better it goes.
For what are you training?
What distance, when will you race?

49 year old master. I never took the time to measure it, but l just go off what l did for the other times. It is , give or take a step from 200 meters either way. I don't want to measure it and then it would screw up something to compare it with intermes of all the other months and years, so tomorrow if l am hitting 30-31 that would be fantastic. I had 33s last time, and at the start it was 35-38. Like l said it might be a few steps off 200 either way, maybe a second, maybe not, but l have a baseline time.
Are you training for the 1500 or a 10K? What type of mileage are you currently running? When us your target race?
Nevertheless, running 200s up a hill (even a slight incline) in the low 30s is impressive.

you could try going faster every 4th rep
