This is week two of our hill phase, and the workouts will be harder, three days of hill work this week, plus three easy days and a long run. On the hill days, remember to shorten your stride, look down and your feet and pump your arms. Do not look at the top of the hill, stay focused. Hills will help get you fit in a shorter period of time. Remember to hydrate, stay away from carbonated beverages and please, please do not drink Energy drinks. They are not energy drinks.
