Seth James DeMoor’s Ascending Red Hill deserves a spot in your training rotation—it’s a solid workout. Here’s what you need to know to run it today, or check the full video for additional details.

Key Points:

• Red Hill, located just outside Carbondale, Colorado, features roughly 800 ft (≈240 m) of vertical climbing that forms the core of this session.
• The workout has no prescribed distance; instead, it’s structured as a steep, short hill repeat designed to build leg strength.
• The tone stays light and social, with emphasis on staying hydrated, wearing a helmet, and taking in the surroundings.

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.

• Build up or dial back the number of repeats and effort duration based on where you are in your training. Set target zones and paces for the hill push using the Pacing app.

Closing Note: Bring water, head to Red Hill, and personalize the repeat loop to match your goals. Adjust the paces in the Pacing app to fit your training focus, and you’ll see gains in leg strength and cardiovascular capacity. 🚀
