The Thursday workout is about a good session in the hills, for 65 minutes. We want you properly warmed up, say 10-15 minutes of good running, and then, begin to move. Charge the hills, find some long hills, find some short hills, but make yourself move up them well, and catch your breath, and begin again. This workout will tax you, but also begin to build your confidence.
