TODAY, RUN 5 3-MINUTE STRENGTH HILL REPEATS: These repeats require lots of effort but they help to quickly build your leg strength through intense sessions on gradual hills. Go back to your 3% grade hill. Warm up with about a 1-mile jog, then run up the hill for 3 minutes at your current 5K pace. Jog/walk down for recovery. Remember, downhill running causes the most muscle damage, so NEVER run back down!
