Hill workouts are key to the your development as a cross country runner. Hills are part of the racing landscape. You can not win if you don’t play.
Saucony RBR Fall Cross Country Training Program, Week 19, day four
Thursday: 1-mile warm up, 8 hill repeats (run 200 yards uphill, turn, jog downhill to the start. Repeat 7 more times, no rests); on the flat at the bottom of the hill, try for 8×150 yards as easy strideouts, jogging back to the start, no rest between; 1-mile easy cool down. Or, if a race happens on Thursday and Saturday, finish up with the 10×150 yards and then do your 1-mile easy cool down.
