Milers Menu: Hill Reps

First up: Hill Reps💥

  • High intensity workout for a big boost of your VO2max and strength endurance.
  • Rely on perceived exertion (feeling) for proper pacing. If the first reps are tough already, you‘re probably too fast.
  • Stack your reps in multiple sets to reduce muscular fatigue.
  • Uphill Running reduces impact but activates additional muscles mass (hamstrings/ glutes)
  • Warm-Up properly and give the legs a good stretch afterwards
  • don’t forget to smile 😁 #smilers

Motivation

Truly challenging your own limits as a runner is a tremendous mental and physical challenge. Staying motivated and committed to the sport can be tough at times, but ultimately extremely rewarding. Every runner who has reached an ambitious goal -whether it is a crazy PB, a first marathon, or an Olympic gold medal – will agree that all the sacrifices are worth it, when we can experience those special moments.

During COVID times however, it is difficult to come across those special moments. When runners can not reward themselves because races are cancelled, it is important to remember why we started our running journey in the first place and what kept us going when we faced challenges before.

To help you remember, we will share some inspiring anecdotes and stories from our Milers from time to time as part of our #MilersMotivation series. Tales about perfect races, impressive comebacks, tough challenges and about how we fell in love with our sport.

Feel free to share your own story with us, so we can stay #ambitioustogether !
