HILL CLIMB
Onwards and upwards.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING TO ACHIEVE
You will be assigned a duration to climb. This will require you to find a hill, run up it and light jog/walk with intent back down throughout.
Within that timeframe, you are looking to ascend as high as possible.
The steeper the hill- the quicker, yet tougher, you will accumulate elevation.
RESULTS ARE BASED ON ELEVATION ONLY - THINK SHORT, SHARP, STEEP CLIMBS
PROGRESSION
You will be completing 6 Hill Climbs within the 12-week program.
The duration of the hill climbs will increase with the program to facilitate progress.
You should log your elevation each session and utilise the date to inform better climbs in the future.
WEEK 1 - 30 minutes
WEEK 3 - 40 minutes
WEEK 5 - 50 minutes
WEEK 7 - 60 minutes
WEEK 9 - 70 minutes
WEEK 11 - 90 minutes
There are possible markers to shoot for.

A MEANS TO RECORD ELEVATION
