Interesting.<br /><br />The best advice I've had about running hills is to keep your effort the same (don't charge up the hill, although I like to do this to get it over with, ha) and to push your hips forward - pretend there's a magnet pulling your hips forward. It helps keep your posture instead of slumping over. Okay, you didn't ask for advice, but there it is, ha.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09753977885503823287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-51825744669950847552016-02-23T08:19:19.470-06:002016-02-23T08:19:19.470-06:00I have to giggle at the "hills" here.

I've heard that there's a Wednesday evening workout that takes place there, but I don't have time to drive 30 minutes there and 30 minutes back just to get in a few hills. Plus, I've heard it's kind of a shady area. I'll pass.

During the first 1/3 of the training cycle, my club does one night of hill runs and they vary as some are very steep while some are a gradual incline. I honestly HATE running hills but I know they are good for my training.Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-58467899063676044222016-02-22T21:31:15.281-06:002016-02-22T21:31:15.281-06:00Oh gosh.

But then I'm a hill-hater so I count speed bumps as hills.Charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13819714901550763235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-40526192814936079352016-02-22T12:26:43.067-06:002016-02-22T12:26:43.067-06:00Any idea of how many feet of incline they are over...Any idea of how many feet of incline they are over how many feet/meters of running?
