Friday Fartlek Run – Goater’s Hill Sequence B
Running in hills develops leg strength as well as the strength of the tendons and ligaments around the knee and ankle. Developing leg strength is essential, as it makes for a more powerful contraction of the leg muscles to propel you forward faster. Including hills regularly, particularly early in your build-up will see great dividends in the improvement of your running. This workout is excellent to include early in your build-up to develop leg strength.
