Hill Repeats for Cross Country Practice

We took the high school kids to Woodland Hills to do hill repeats. There is a steep hill about 300 meters up and then about a 200 meter down slope and back up an extremely steep 300 to 400 meter up. Once they reached the top, they looped back down and repeated back up…

Half the kids ran 3 loops before they took a 2 min break and the other half ran 2 loops. Then they went back up for 2 more loops.

They pushed hard going up and let loose and recovered the 1st half coming down. Some would then pick up their speed coming down and start back up driving their arms and fighting that up hill. They did a mile and a half warm up and about a mile cool down. They were beat!

It was good for them!
