Ascending Red Hill - Seth James DeMoor

Intro: This is a quick summary of Ascending Red Hill from Seth James DeMoor. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.

Key Points:

• The crew tackles Red Hill, an ~800 ft (≈240 m) vertical climb just outside Carbondale, Colorado.
• No set mileage is given, but the run is presented as a short, steep hill repeat that feels like a solid strength‑building session.
• The vibe is relaxed and social, reminding runners to stay hydrated, wear a helmet for safety, and enjoy the mountain scenery.

Workout Example:

Hill‑Repeat Session (Red Hill style)
1. Warm‑up: 10‑15 min easy jog on flat terrain.
2. Hill effort: Run up the ~800 ft (≈0.5 mi) climb at a hard, controlled pace (~85‑90% max HR) for 4‑5 min.
3. Recovery: Jog or walk downhill back to the start (≈2‑3 min).
4. Repeat 5‑6 times depending on fitness level.
5. Cool‑down: 10 min easy jog + stretch.

• Adjust the number of repeats and effort length to match your current fitness. Use the Pacing app to set your target heart‑rate zones or target paces for the uphill segment.

Closing Note: Grab a water bottle, hit that Red Hill climb, and make the repeat loop your own—tweak the paces in the Pacing app to fit your training goals and enjoy the boost in leg strength and cardio power! 🚀
