What is Hill Training?

Hill training is a method of running up hills to increase muscle power and strength.

Hill training is very demanding at first because you work muscles that you don't use very often while running. However, the more you hill train, the easier it becomes. 

Hill training is an effective way of buliding aerobic power and strength. It is a great form of resistance training for runners because as you run up a hill, you are fighting the resistance of the slope.

Hill-training workouts should only be done once, or at the most twice, per week.

Is Hill Training Only Beneficial to Runners?

No. Hill training is ideal for athletes who depend on high running speeds.
