How to Use Hills to Run Faster

Hill workouts are one of the most versatile forms of training, but many runners either avoid them or don’t use them intentionally. In this video, I break down how hills actually fit into a training program - from hill sprints and short hill reps to longer hill intervals and hills within long runs. Each type of hill workout serves a different purpose, whether you’re focused on power, speed, speed-endurance, aerobic strength, or race durability. If you understand how to use hills correctly, they can become one of the most effective ways to get faster, build strength, improve form, and prepare for the demands of hilly races. ⌚︎ Run-Coaching https://www.dylanbelles.com/ 🏃Follow me on Strava https://strava.app.link/y4dXPI14p1b 🎧 Listen here: https://open.spotify.com/show/4B9vU0F....
