Seth James DeMoor’s “Ascending Red Hill” is a solid workout. Here’s what to know to run it today; the full video has more.

Key points:

• Red Hill, just outside Carbondale, Colorado, has around 800 ft (240 m) of vertical, the core of the session.
• No prescribed distance. It’s a steep, short hill repeat for leg strength.
• The tone is light and social. Hydrate, wear a helmet, and take in the surroundings.

Workout:

Hill repeat session (Red Hill style)
1. Warm-up: 10-15 min easy jog on flat terrain.
2. Hill effort: run the around 800 ft (about 0.5 mi) climb at a hard, controlled pace (around 85-90% max HR) for 4-5 min.
3. Recovery: jog or walk downhill back to the start (around 2-3 min).
4. Repeat 5-6 times depending on fitness.
5. Cool-down: 10 min easy jog and stretch.

Add or remove repeats based on training. Set target zones and paces in the Pacing app.

Closing note: bring water, head to Red Hill, and tailor the loop to your goals.
