After you’ve been running for awhile, it’s natural to have a desire to get faster. The problem is most runners dive right in to speed workouts and often end up injured. Instead, I want you to consider hill sprints.

Hill sprints are adjustable to every single fitness level and more importantly will make you faster, while dropping your injury risk. Let’s talk about how all of this works and some specific workouts to get you going.
Hill sprints or hill repeats are set intervals of running with maximum effort uphill, followed by a recovery period which usually involves walking or easy jogging back downhill.
