The workout - do 2-3 marches up the hill. This should incorporate what you have learned from Wall Marches and Boom, Booms


Then do 4-8 hill sprints. You will rest 2-3 minutes between each sprint. This is not an endurance, aerobic workout that your cross country coach, basketball coach, or other coaches have had you do. The purpose is not to make you breath hard but to work on explosion and getting faster. You need full recovery to do that.
