I did a lot of training last year on this part of the course and it was not as bad as I expected. Really I would have run it five times vs. the long flat straight aways of Columbia Parkway and Eastern at the end of the marathon. Some things to keep in mind, first the "hill" really starts about mile 3 when you cross the Clay Way Bailey bridge back into Ohio from Kentucky. You then have a series steps up until you enter Eden park, where you hit a couple of steep sections, just keep your effort, not your pace, consistent through here. Also, note the hills does not end at the overlook, there is another moderate climb up Victory parkway until you hit McMilliam. From there.....its all "net" down. Enjoy the view and the run... Good luck.
