You all know I recommend hill sprints once a week to compliment strength training.
How to start?
Here is the simplest “program” I can think of:
Find a hill, steep or not. Walk UP the hill for about 45 seconds or about 100 steps.
Walk back to the start. Set a timer or stopwatch for 15-20 minutes.
Run up the hill to the spot you reached before. Walk slowly back to the start. Repeat for 20 minutes. Done. That’s it. No, this isn’t true max-speed “sprints” but they will be just fine for most people. You want to rest enough between efforts that you can run as fast as possible, but the hill will reduce the stride length and add enough resistance that the risk of injury is minimized.
For best results, do this on an empty stomach.
And, take your dog or dogs. They’ll love this!
