What is the purpose of doing long steady hills, I can see how doing short hill sprints would be beneficial, but I see no reason to long steady hills at all. I mean, maybe you could run them a certain way to increase your anaerobic power but I think structured track work would be much more efficient. What's letsruns take on long steady hills?
Even long steep hills, would anyone reccommend doing them?

incredible for endurance. run hills up to 1 mile long, it's a great workout, or even just a hilly run w/o specific repeats. i guess it depends on what distance you're training for...this might not give you too much help in the mile down...
I respond exceptionally well to them. Was faster than ever before when training consistently over them. Felt fit with lots of pop in my distance runs, and was in the best shape of my life. Problem is that was in Memphis. Currently, Chicagoland's a hard place to find any hills.
Conversely, short hills seem to be a waste of time for me.
I agree....I have a normal loop that has pleanty of rolling hills of all distances. I feel much stronger when I run it consistantly, then when I don't.
Doesn't malmo have a quote from rono about his secret being the heeels the heeels the speed is in the heeels.
It went something like:
'Which hill?'
'Any heel!'
the Dina was Rono's personal bartender. He tells the funny story of Rono divulging his secrets often.
"Tooooz-day, Sal-luh-zahhh, trrhhhack!" Shaking his head "no."
"Tourrrz-day, Sal-luh-zahhh, trrhhhack!" Again shaking his head.
"Sat-tuhh-day, Sal-luh-zahhh, trrrhhhack!" Emphatically shaking his head.
"Deeeee Heeeeel!" Shouts Rono, with his harm pointing uphill.
By now, The Dina feels that Rono is pliable with alchohol and leans forward to find out "the secret" from the legend.
"Henry, what hill?" he asks.
Waving his arms maniacally, Rono shouts, "ANY HEEEEEEEL!"
I guess I'm not understanding the specific adaptation.
That's the problem. You are thinking too much.
