This program meets two times per week and is for runners of all abilities. The Monday hill workout is great for your speed and emphasizes quick turn over. Running hills is a speed workout in disguise. Hills are a great way to build strength in your legs, buttocks and calves and a great way to improve your running form. Running hills is one of the most important workouts we do. Short hills help increase your sprint speed and anaerobic capacity, while longer hills help build endurance and mental fortitude.
The Wednesday workout will teach you all the different training paces you will need to become a faster runner. You will do workouts at mile, 5K, 10k and threshold paces.
