3:24 doesn’t look so good tbh! kinda unstable / not really good range of motion, lot of compensation going on…
To All you couch potatoes who watch these vids but never get off the couch. GET OFF THE FUCKING COUCH! AND PUT SOME EFFORT INTO IT!!! I am a older guy who puts a 70 pound back pak on and runs uphill for a hour. Some times i stop running but keep a good waking speed going. If i can do this every day then you younger people can do it. STOP EATING FAST FOOD!!! It gets easier the more you do it till you look forward to doing it. Yes you feel so much better that its like a drug but a good for you drug. Start today and do not put it off. PEACE OUT!!!
Thank you for your tips. Very useable & clear.
I train solo, so having workable advice is helpful. I’m trying to add more hills in my runs, and trying to do it with better technique. Thee are just the tips I needed. Much appreciated.
ran a PR of 16:51 5k yesterday, I trained hills once a week for two months and it really worked, it’s not all talk, it actually works.
Halo top is great, and Jacob I love your videos, I always look forward to watching them!!!
What else do you focus on when running uphill? #runnersconnect
I wouldn’t touch ANYTHING after that! Let alone your eyes!!!
Love and hate the hills! Great training, will check you out on strava!!!
treadmill. I’ll train at 10% incline. Problem is though it puts the force into calfs and eventually you have the cardio to go faster but your muscles are slower to increase in strength. What i find happens is it gets a lot harder past 15 mins… then 20mins upto 30mins is a lot tougher to maintain pace…. sure you’ll see cardio demand increases… but those calfs start getting maxed out.
hills are speed training is disguise though.
Winner of a video, I’ve been looking for “how to run faster and longer instantly” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of Ralebney Running Recoilless (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now )? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my work buddy got cool success with it.
oldie but a goodie, your videos have come a long way! Keep up the great work
i just do hill training. apart from running club night / track / longer runs. The hills have made me faster for sure.
Cool vid love seeing these training vids outside the gym. Especially for me who doesn’t belong to a gym or cf box.
Is the runner footage from Snow Bowl road by any chance?? the cruddy tarmac and aspens look very familiar!
Would it be stupid for a beginner to start doing hill work even allowing for taking it easy at the start
.
My only question is: You explained to move your knees *upward/forward””. I read that put too much strain on your hip flexors, which in turn use up too much oxygen. All movements of the legs are supposed to be “backwards”. Any thoughts?
I used to live in a hilly town in the south east, but recently moved to London, I sometimes get over to Primrose Hill and other hills in London, but my local area (East London) is very flat. When I was on the coast, I had no choice but to run Hills, I have had to change my training to an extent, and I miss the advantages from Hill running.
I love it! The only thing I would suggest is how to stretch cause I know those hills will have you walking funny for a few days if you don’t stretch. Keep going sir
Missed you at the festival this year Harry! Great vid! I’ll be hitting some hill training this afternoon. Big hugs to you and Lewis!

You have great content and you are a good presenter. You should however value your audience by switching off phone, tidying up your presentation room. All these things distract us as your audience.
As a hill walker that takes balls as I have seen people fall over many times just from walking on uneven ground let alone running. I will be walking 10 miles tomorrow. That is walking not running btw.
hills good, because they take you safely (in my experience) to more intense running, but without all the impact and stress of flat land running. For me its a lot easier on my body to run up a hill slower than run same intensity fast… so with hills I can get in much more volume.
i’ve got my tread set to 10% incline and slowly increasing speed +0.1 mph everyday. Have to be careful about hills… strain Achilles… game over for a few weeks or longer. With running I find its not enough to be fit enough to run at x min/mile… you have to be physically tough enough to take the impact and strain…. biggest danger is being super fit, but not tough enough to take it… bit like putting a jet engine on a biplane.:) Sure, you can run 1km repeats at 4.33 min/mile…. but next day you cannot walk. But hills allow you to get to a strong effort without putting the body under as much high volume impact forces (that’s what i find anyway). So, i exclusively train on hills at the moment. Sometimes I do track… but those sessions can really mess you up…. better to save flat speed training for race day or club night and train high volume on the hills gradual increases.
Awesome content. Including the sort of jackass burpees penalty!!!! Lol
Perhaps for your next review video you can just review a bunch of port-o-potties.
I ran my fastest 5 miler by doing mostly hill sprints on good ole’ Ft. Benning, GA… they help you coast that “red line” longer
Plus sometimes an athlete will just drop out if they’re feeling it and its not a major event for them.
Just think about those porta potty burpees when you’re at the games, guaranteed Heppner for podium!!!
I’m training to be a professional wrestler, and the reason I do uphill sprints is to improve my cardiovascular endurance. Burning fat and losing weight are just added benefits.
Fingers crossed my coach isn’t watching these…big old steep hill on the other side of the parking lot I don’t wanna go near
It does build mental strength, it also increases pain tolerance. From my experience.
read an article l -carnite fish oil high dose help with lactic theshold
Very good video. You should try sprinting up hills, that makes your legs much more stronger and helps build calves. It is also a very good trick to help you become a faster sprinter in general♂️
Great for lowering blood pressure. BP goes way up. Then way down when you stop.
Ahhh that is mount trash more!!! I would love for you to help me train for my upcoming half next year. Hills seems pretty intense but I would love the challenge if it improves my running!!!
it’s not a crazy subject at all. Trust me anyone who endures anything that brutal, is gonna get tough. this is beyond science.
Do more videos where you reach maximum lactic threshold of metabolic fat kid blowout. Guaranteed if u add a lil anabolic spike, and a tuna sandwich you’d maximize hydrogen ions and shave minutes of your pull up.
Great running, I’m looking to get into trail running. Can you tell me what is a good reasonably priced GPS watch? Cheers
good stuff, you have great advice/knowledge to offer very often; wondering what your schedule is for the outdoor track season or for the next 4 or 5 months? Any goals? Upcoming races? How’s your fitness?
Rooting for you man, would enjoy seeing you run under 16 on the track; get on it!
