Workout Guidance

Plan notes

Intent summary

Use Running Hill Repeats 90/180 (45 Minutes) as a long running session with 10 rounds of 90/180 work/recovery phases. The hill repeats intent is uphill strength-endurance and controlled repeat climbing; because it is a repeatable set, adjust one movement choice variable at a time and keep the target repeatable for the intermediate version.

Work focus

During the 1:30 climb repeat in Running Hill Repeats 90/180 (45 Minutes), keep the running target simple enough to repeat over 45 minutes. Run tall, keep cadence quick, and let the stride land underneath you. Shorten the stride, drive the arms, and avoid sprinting blindly up the grade. With 90/180 timing, use a sustainable rhythm and avoid front-loading the effort, then judge the interval by stride rhythm, posture, and controlled breathing.

Rest summary

Between efforts in Running Hill Repeats 90/180 (45 Minutes), spend the 3-minute reset on the details that make the next running interval useful: walk or jog easily, loosen the shoulders, and reset posture before the next start. Because the 45-minute plan uses 90/180 hill repeats timing, use the extra time to fully reset setup and quality, especially across 10 rounds.

Pacing guidance

Pace Running Hill Repeats 90/180 (45 Minutes) by treating the 45-minute running total and 10 rounds as the real constraint: make the opening quarter deliberately sustainable so the back half still has quality. With a 90/180 hill repeats pattern and recovery-heavy interval density, the extra reset time should protect quality rather than turn the next effort into a forced grind; hold back on early climbs so the last climbs still have rhythm rather than survival effort.

Common mistakes

Overstriding on the climb.
Charging the first repeat too hard.
Opening the first interval too fast.
Overstriding when trying to speed up.

Safety notes

Choose a route or treadmill setting that fits the session. Stop or switch to easy walking if you feel chest pressure, faint, severely short of breath, dizzy, uncoordinated, or unable to keep the planned effort. Use a safe hill with clear visibility and stable footing. Stop the set if descents feel uncontrolled or posture cannot stay organised.
