what are the best kind of hills to be doing for base type work in july and august
ive done 2 hill workouts so far, warm up 20minutes then do 12 hills then warm down 15, total time is about an hour. increasing 2 hills per week,
the hill takes about 45-50 seconds to get up, should i be doing these fast or having a hard type run incorporating them into it, any benefits from either way?
Mostly you get a leg strenght benefit from short hills. If you are building base I was always told that hills DURING your runs are far more effective in aerobic and leg strenght development. On the same note I was under the impression that hills should be at least a 1/4 mile long for noticeable benefits. Perhaps doing these hills fast would yield results or linking several in fast succession (like a circuit) may help.
