Daily Training Tip #670

When doing hill sprints (not stairs) make sure you sprint both UP the hill and sprint DOWN the hill. Both up and down have a different training element and both up/down build off of each other. Start with sprinting up the hill with a walk down recovery and then move onto walking up the hill and sprinting down the hill. Both will aid in your improvements.
