Why do you need new workouts? Just do the same workouts that you would do on the track
Whatever road goes up a very steep hill.
No substitute for track workouts, but if you don't have a track, you might as well.

That makes no sense. There's no hill on a track during a track workout. Just move your same track workouts to the roads.
the key words were "road" and "hill," and the phrase "if you don't have a track."
If OP intended to put on spikes and do 30m starts on the road, he'd have had no question to ask.

No, the OPs keywords were that he's looking for workouts for a middle distance runner. He is not a sprinter and doesn't need to do 30m sprints up a hill. Why can't he just do his usual "10x400m" workout on the roads? Why are you suggesting non middle distance workouts?
54.5, 2:05 and "not a sprinter?"
0/10, nobody is that stupid. Quit ruining poor OP's thread.
OP the point is road workouts can never measure up to track workouts, but they are an opportunity to put in hill work.
