Thanks for the great tips, instruction and science. And for the fun, human touch. I just got into running last year and am really enjoying it. Looks like you all are too. Well done!
Grace Padilla had the steeplechase record in 1996, She is currently a Masters Runner in her early 50's. I wonder how she explains this video to her children.
thanks for the info. I laughed and learned. and drooled on grace a little. good stuff, but I'm afraid to train downhill. everything else, I'm going for it!
The information is very helpful, but, is it filmed in VHS or Beta? Lol, the high school A/V department needs to put in a request to the principal for new camera equipment. 🤪
Watching a runner trying to act, is worse than watching an actor trying to run! 😕 Good information though! Also have to add, that gal in the green top has killer abs! 💪
I don't believe you need 2-3 miles of flat warm-up. I just run until my heart rate gets into the orange then take off on the hill. Why on Earth would you do this on the street? Find a good trail.
have you ever thought to yourself she might be reading what you have written and your comment have hurt her feelings... i am sure that your not perfect either- just find your comment very insensitive and provocative .. have the strength to say something positive.
That's what I tell my runners before their races. Make up a lot of ground going up the hill, because we're going to walk down the other side. ;-) In races or in training, runners will inevitably have to run both up and down hills. It is important to develop the muscles and stride types that improve speed and reduce risk of injury. The only thing I would add to this video about downhill running is to avoid 'braking'. Keeping a midfoot strike under the body with quick and light steps encourages faster leg turnover and less force absorbed by the skeletal structure.
Leana B, any workout should serve a primary purpose (but will also tax & benefit supporting systems). What is the proposed purpose of the 1000m hill reps? This is purely opinion, but the benefits of hill reps can be achieved in shorter reps. Training for a 5k, our hill-specific reps are usually 200m or shorter. But, we gain benefits from hills within other types of workouts. Hills within long runs, tempos, and intervals help us learn to run based on effort as well as pace. We do intervals of 800m - 1600m with some pretty significant hills within them. They help us to find our target pace again after we've gained the peak. They help us develop mental toughness. They force our bodies to deal with the additional lactate produced during the uphill segment. I would only avoid hills on easy recovery runs or on runs designed to learn/ingrain a particular pace. Anecdotally, my family goes to a cabin near a ski resort for a week each summer. Being at the top of a 5-8% grade hill, I start each run with 3/4mile downhill, run a few miles of rolling terrain, then finish with a brutal 3/4mile hill climb at the end of my run. Despite slowing my pace by 1-2min/mile, my heart rate increases by 10-15bpm. For what reason do I run that hill? To get back to the cabin for breakfast...no specific training purpose.
This video is as involuntarily funny as it is voluntarily informative.
Awesome, very educational. Thanks very much.
Great video.. salute from India💓💓

Nah. 80's.

This video is magical
Thanks for the tips!
It was a fun video, great info and wokouts!!
Hill running is where its at. Great video, a little corny, but entertaining. Looking forward to adding some of these drills to my program this week.
thanks for the info. I laughed and learned. and drooled on grace a little. good stuff, but I'm afraid to train downhill. everything else, I'm going for it!
Great tips
0:05 best part of this vid
Agreed
Good tips!! but oh the cringe.....
Love this.
Good stuff
I didn’t see a hill there .. this group needs to run with me I will show them some hills
The information is very helpful, but, is it filmed in VHS or Beta? Lol, the high school A/V department needs to put in a request to the principal for new camera equipment. 🤪
well cheesy delivery but strong content - thanks for sharing
Bless up.
Interesting but sooooooo cheeesey !
The cuts in the video are so ‘80’s
OMG Grace's body is PERFECTION! You are so gorgeous!!!!
He wears shades so you know he is legit.
@Elijah777X You are my HERO!
Great acting. Grace has great ti...
ming.
xD
Good on her. That's a great time
so 90's
good info...distracting but i'll try to watch again and focus more on what he says versus watching.
This video is so contrived with the camera angle changes, almost satirized.
i like this hill session.can you email the program to me
It took 20 years to make it to RUclips and it took RUclips 10 years to suggest it to me. Cheesy but informal.
Obviously they're all impressive runners in this video, but Ms. Padilla's fantastic form stands out. Such a natural.
Arms swinging side to side, feet hobbling around like she's a drunken reindeer, yes, such great form...
A bit corny, but funny. Some good stuff in here for any runner.
«let's do it»
«by all mens!»
LOL!
Lol I had a good laugh out of this...
this old fart video is actually good
Wait guys why did he say u should red 2 to 3 min when u can rest like 1:30 sec or something????
Some great running advice, but rendered almost unwatchable by the terrible hammy acting.
She's got great abs.
Hal and Joanne of Bodybreak are better actors omg
It went downhill after 0:05.
OHHHHH the black guy, I heard so much about you.
I almost feel like I can act as well
Watching a runner trying to act, is worse than watching an actor trying to run! 😕
Good information though!
Also have to add, that gal in the green top has killer abs! 💪
Sound advice throughout. But I can't decide if they are really that lame or just trying to make us cringe...
good tips , horrible video
Great content. The video is super cringe but it kind of adds to the appeal
She actually kind of runs like paula radcliffe. I know what you mean though...
No hills where I live.
Then do incline treadmill, 6.0 grade, you'll be amazed how it works after some time...
onefoot7 I don't go to a gym; I road run.
Remember to hydrate with some Sunny D and not that purple stuff!
King of the hill on steroids
Why to kill this good info with such a terrible acting
something wrong with her feets
I don't believe you need 2-3 miles of flat warm-up. I just run until my heart rate gets into the orange then take off on the hill. Why on Earth would you do this on the street? Find a good trail.
Go Pete!! Make her rode u to u bust!!!!
she has amazing body
Weirdly informative
i wish that chick was my coach!
I think she crapped her pants...
Cheesy acting
Girl in green top definitely not a runner with that form. Great body though.
have you ever thought to yourself she might be reading what you have written and your comment have hurt her feelings... i am sure that your not perfect either- just find your comment very insensitive and provocative .. have the strength to say something positive.
We've already established she's good looking and has great abs - that's about it...everything else was painful to the point of becoming comical...
I didn't hear a word he said...cutie...
Hahahahah
Enjoyed the video - pity about the efforts at humour - just a pointless distraction
SO CHEZZY ITS ANNOYING!!!
was this a joke or..
token black runner
Wow, the cheesiness is distracting and takes away from the piece, and put on some clothes, grace.. Otherwise, it would be really good.
maybe good trainer but sucks as director
A 5km warm-up prior to running hills? Yeah, there goes your hamstrings unless you're a very seasoned sprinter.
Great advice, terrible production
The girl with the pink shirt has a really weird running form, that kind of annoys me.
Is this a skit? Because....... yikes!
detest sexiest and patronising way this is presented. stop watching after 40 sec. what crap
what's with the embarrassingly bad acting? just be yourselves.
Do not run down hill ever. Good video otherwise :)

Coach K can you recommend maybe 1000m Hill repeats for long distance runners?
