This week’s workout is a Tempo/Hill combo typically done in the first phase of workouts as a transition to longer tempo runs. Fatiguing the body on the tempo, calling upon quick twitch fibers to do the power work on the hill, and then repeating creates a nice bump in fitness. This is a great one to prep for hilly races too!
