How do you get in 35 minutes of hill running in a 55 minute run? Have some fun. One of my faves was 10 times 3 minutes up hill, with 2 minutes easy in between each hill charge, followed by a 5 minute uphill run, then a cool down.
Or, you could just warm up ten minutes and find some god awful hills to test your strength and stamina, and then jog home the last 15 minutes.
Hills are the secret sauce. Sprinters, hurdlers, middle distance runners all get it!
