I love running on varied topography for the resistance value it gives. We also have large river levees in my area that are great to sprint up and down. I'm recovering from stress fx on both tibs so I'll have to ease into running on any surface. I've heard that hills/slopes aggrevate all kinds of injuries. Is it true? What do you think? Any links to any official studies will also be appreciated.

I have known Babs for some time, over on another message board (Hey Babette, how's it going). I think she said this: "I like to run on hills. They give me a bubbly butt. The men like that."

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

Hills are great but don't sprint up them. Keep your pace normal and they are of extreme value on training runs. If doing a hill work out, simply 3-5 surges for 30 sec. at a hard pace (not sprinting) can be very beneficial with full recoveries. But with injury recovery don't be doing official "hill work" now. Training runs are fine but don't push up them.

You can never run a hill too hard, you will collapse before hurting it. Big grin
