HILLS! For many of us this word terrifies us because they\u2019re hard, they\u2019re uncomfortable, and we may not even know how to run them correctly. Up hill, downhill, hills for interval training and speed work, trail running with hills, it\u2019s all part of the running experience. Yet, how many of us know how to use hills effectively and to our optimal benefit to improve our running?

In this episode Dylan discusses hills and why all of us can benefit from understanding how to run them better and how to utilize the power that comes from effective hill running \u2013 for racing and training. When we think of running hills, we often envision running up a road with a steep hill, running up a long but low grade, or the infamous \u201cHeartbreak Hill\u201d of Boston. But, as Isaac Newton essentially said: \u201cWhat goes up, must come down.\u201d and Dylan also shares with us how to effectively run down hills and how hills should be approached when trail running.
