2017 HOKA ONE ONE Postal Nationals Summer Cross Country Training Program, Week 3, Day 3, Getting into hill training over the summer

The magic of hills is not just physical, but emotional. Running on trails, running in parks, all give one a break from the daily grind. Find those places where you can relax and just run. Do not worry about your music, GPS, just time your run and go. The simpler some days, the better.

It is not about ignoring modern techonology. It is knowing when to turn it on and turn it off. Running is about getting closer to your world and appreciating the sounds of silence, as one songwriting team noted oh so long ago.

As you begin running again, please consider the HOKA ONE ONE training shoes.
