It is a exercise for day 4 of Week Two, Thursday, March 23, 2023.

Hills have been a part of all of my coaching packages since highschool. I realized easy methods to differ these exercises whereas teaching with my pal and mentor,

Joe Mangan.

Joe coached at Foothill School with Hank Ketels and Peanut Harms after which introduced me in, 1990-1996, as an assistant coach. Joe taught me the lesson that Swedish Coach Gosta Holmer used within the Nineteen Thirties: discover your native foreign money and use it. In Los Altos Hills, we had hills in every single place, and so Joe would use them in nearly each exercise. For 200m/400m runners, for 800m/1500m runners, and, after all, for cross nation runners.

Hills toughen you, and so they construct confidence in your health.

Our exercise in the present day is an effective warm-up (keep in mind 5 push-ups, 5 sit-ups, 5 pull-ups) 5 x 150-meter hill repeats, jog down, 20 minutes reasonable working, 5 x 200-meter hill repeats, 20 minutes reasonable working, 5 x 250-meter hill repeats, 20 minutes reasonable to simple working. Calm down slowly.
