Benefits of hill training

Yesterday I put in a short but intense hill training session. They are always tough but now that I am practising yoga every day my hamstrings don't cramp up and make me walk like a cripple afterwards. Mentally I don't look forward to hill reps but when I ran today it was easier and faster than normal - that's the pay off! But tomorrow I am hoping to run a long distance with some ultra runners. I'll keep you posted on the progress tomorrow. But now to enjoy the rest of this beautiful day.
