Do you run hills? I have always incorporated running hills into my training. They are great in the winter when doing track work is impossible because of the snow. They help you with strength and form and let’s not forget about the mental toughness you get from running them.
However, there are other sides to the hill. There are hill races that are on the roads and trails. There are exploring runs that can take you to extreme heights and we can’t forget about downhill. Yes, there are down hill races of all distances like Jack and Jills downhill marathon.
I have had the honor to participate in every type of these runs. I am sure many of you have also. Here are a few of my favorite hills.
Elk Mound run to the Castle
Ogema to Timm’s hill (Highest point in Wisconsin)
La Crosse Civic center to Grand Dad bluff and back
Mt Washington Road Race (NH)
Smugglers pass in Aspen (Co)
King Arthurs Seat Scottland England at the end of the royal mile,
Let us know your favorite hill near or far for we love them all!
Good Running Friends!
