Hill Repeat Session
A hill repeat session uses short uphill efforts and easy descents to build power and economy with less impact than flat sprints.
A hill repeat session is short uphill efforts—30 seconds to three minutes—with jog-down recovery that builds power, running economy, and leg strength with lower impact than flat sprints. Grade and rep count scale to fitness; start modest on descents to protect knees.
Use after a base of easy volume.
