Matthew Choi’s “I Trained with Devon Levesque” shares hill training techniques you can use now. Here’s the breakdown.

Key points and tips

• A training partner pushes harder effort and makes hill repeats more fun.
• Combine backward hill walks, forward hill runs, and bodyweight strength work (ring push-ups) for a rounded session.
• Ten minutes is enough if quality is high.
• Use the hill both ways: climb for power, descent for recovery.

Workout example (durations in minutes, not miles):

1. 5-minute easy backward hill walk: walk uphill facing downhill to engage the eccentric phase of your leg muscles.
2. 5-minute hill repeat: alternate 30 seconds at a challenging uphill pace and 30 seconds of easy walking downhill. Continue for 5 minutes.
3. Ring push-ups: 3 sets of 8-10 reps (or your max with good form) to close.

Closing note Try this 10-minute hill and push-up workout when you can. Adjust paces and rep counts in the Pacing app.
