If you are preparing for a hilly race, such as the New York City Marathon, or a downhill race such as a REVEL marathon, your training will look different from what it would for a flat marathon. We guide you through an evidence-based, practical approach for training for a hilly race - including creative interventions if you live in a flat area.

You will learn:

✅ The different energetic and mechanical demands of uphill and downhill running

✅ How to muscularly prepare for a downhill race

✅ How to train for a hilly race when you live in a flat area

✅ Strength training exercises for a hilly race

✅ Developing a performance mindset for hilly races

✅ Proper hill running form

✅ Pacing strategies for hilly races

✅ How to fuel during a hilly race
