Uphill run

Uphill runs allow the growth of the muscular mass. There are several types of so called uphill runs:

SPRINT: Most effort is concentrated in just a few metres. 100 metres uphill to be repeated up to 15 times with a recovering session of at least one minute to clear the lactic acid that has built up in the muscles.

REPEATED SHORTS: between 100 and 500 metres with recovery time equal to the running time. Aim at a total run of between 2 and 3km.

REPEATED MEDIUM: between 500 and 1000 metres with speed similar to that of 10km. Recovery time equal to that of running. Aim at a total run of between 4 and 6km.

REPEATED LONG: runs between 1 and 2 km and speed similar to that of a 10-15 km. Recovery time equal to that of half of the uphill run. Aim at a total of between 5 and 8km.
