DeeGee Jan 2013 12:27pm, 11 Jan 2013 13434 posts	0 DeeGee Seems simple enough. I'm reading a variety of different training plans (following none yet) and this just crops up in a lot of them with very little explanation. What sort of effort do I need to be putting into the session? And am I looking for long gentle rises or huge great steep things.
Gobi Jan 2013 12:29pm, 11 Jan 2013 49915 posts	0 Gobi I have done them running 30 seconds up a hill and back and also done them on a 120 second loop. Effort depends on what you need have done them at 5km effort to flat out :¬)
Callum Bampton Jan 2013 4:13pm, 11 Jan 2013 160 posts	0 Callum Bampton I'm doing Kenyan hills tomorrow - it's a 1500m loop with 2 main hills and 1 long, gradual downhill which you've really got to hammer. It's my favourite session.. the main focus is on the crests and the downhills - you've just got to flow up the hills and feel good. We also do 10x 600m Kenyan hills which is simply 300m up and 300m down.

Got something to say?
