This is a quick summary of I Trained with Devon Levesque from Matthew Choi. 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 & Tips

Train with a partner: having someone push you makes hill repeats feel easier and more fun.
Mix backward hill walks, forward hill runs, and body‑weight strength (ring push‑ups) for a balanced session.
Keep the session short: 10 minutes total can still be intense if you focus on effort.
Use the hill to work both the ascent (hard effort) and the descent (active recovery).

Workout Example (all distances are in minutes, not miles):

5‑minute easy back‑ward hill walk – walk uphill facing downhill to load the eccentric muscles.
5‑minute hill repeat – 30 seconds hard uphill run (aim for a challenging pace), then 30 seconds easy walk back down. Repeat for the full 5 minutes.
Ring push‑ups – 3 sets of 8–10 reps (or as many as you can do with good form) to finish the session.

Closing Note Give this 10‑minute hill‑and‑push‑up combo a try today, and feel free to adjust the intervals or rep range in the Pacing app to match your own paces. Have fun, stay strong, and keep crushing those limits!
