Are you looking to amp up your running? Add hill repeats and speed work on Wednesdays at 5:30 a.m. This week, meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Kimberly Bridge Lot, at 5:30 a.m., for 90 minutes of Hill Repeats, Strides, or a mix of both. At a 13% average incline, the Blue Hill segment is one of the steepest in the Rez and the perfect training ground for any upcoming race. The .6 mile uphill contains just over 400 feet of vertical gain while the downhill is a great quad-shredding exercise. If you need to train with poles, this is a good course to do so. We’ve been focusing on blue repeats for a while but I’ve seen you folks become absolute beasts (looking at you, Kim) so let’s continue.
