In this week’s episode of The Sunday Shakeout I guide you through the ins and outs of hill training tailored for distance runners. Echoing the sentiment of one of America's greatest distance runners, "Hills are speedwork in disguise," we explore the diverse benefits hills bring, from strength-building to endurance and speed enhancements.

Hills, with their unmatched versatility, offer a unique workout. Throughout this episode, I unravel the advantages of hill workouts, delve into different types of hill training, and provide practical insights on seamlessly integrating them into your training routine. With consistent effort, dedication, and a dash of lactate tolerance, hills become a catalyst for strength, injury resilience, and race results exceeding expectations.
