This exercise is done in the repetition mode. That is, alternating a high-intensity phase with a low-intensity recovery phase.
How to do
- By varying the distance of the high intensity part we can divide the uphill repetitions into short (80-100mt), medium (100-400mt) and long (400 - 800mt)
- The slope of the climb can be about 10% for short repetitions and 6% for long ones.
- Before making the uphill repetitions, always remember to warm up very well, running at least two or three kilometers before
- If you are preparing for a medium-short race, you can work on short repetitions, on climbs of 80-100 meters, to run close to the threshold speed and then recover downhill with a mild run.
- The recovery must be at least double the duration of the repetition
- Running technique is essential.
- The push of the foot will take place on the front, with the torso slightly tilted forward, the gaze forward
- The arms must accompany the push of the feet.
- The arms swing in opposition to the pushing leg.
