Hill work is a key part of our training program. The work level now will be much different in four weeks, and you will be able to handle it. Easy days stay easy days and hard days get more challenging. Key other parts of training: a) sleep is a must, 8-10 hours a night and a nap of 30 minutes if needed, b) hydration-water, 8-10 glasses, 8 ounces a day, stay off soda, coffee, if kept simple or tea, if kept simple are good, c) proper nutrition, that is eating varied foods, and keeping junk and processed foods down. You have a mortal engine, respect it.
