๐๏ธ Hills Build More Than Strength
One of the reasons hill training is such an important part of our program is that hills develop many of the same benefits as speed workโwith less impact and without requiring anyone to run fast.
This week our RunWalk Tulsa members tackled hill workouts across four sessions:
โ๏ธ Wednesday Morning โ Broken Arrow
๐
Wednesday Evening โ Gathering Place
โ๏ธ Thursday Morning โ Ronald McDonald House
๐ Thursday Evening โ Ronald McDonald House
Hill training helps build:
โ
Endurance
โ
Cardiovascular fitness
โ
Running efficiency
โ
Power and strength
โ
Mental toughness
โ
Confidence
Whether you're walking, running or training with the Run-Walk-Runยฎ Method for a 5K, half marathon, marathon, or simply better fitness, hills can help you become stronger without focusing on pace.
The hill may only last a few minutes, but the benefits carry over to every workout and race day.
And despite all those hills, just look at those happy faces! ๐๐โโ๏ธ๐ถโโ๏ธ
