Run to Win25 Marathons, 17 Ultras, 16 States (Full List)
My legs are killing me
I think that hill training is good for you (it's really just speed work in disguise) but if you are training for a flat marathon, then you don't need to go out of your way to add hills. It probably doesn't hurt, but you shouldn't stress over it.
I live in a hilly area and when I run outside their are hills on every run. My question is "define a hill workout?" Is it the number of hills you run? Is it the elevation of the hills you run? While I was running yesterday I was thinking just about of of my outside runs could be considered a hill workout. Would I be correct?
