Description
Do hills scare you? Do you find yourself struggling uphill while other runners breeze on by? If so, this 50-minute audio coach on hill running technique is for you!
Regardless of your running goals, whether it’s to run a marathon, a trail race, achieve a new parkrun personal best, or just to enjoy your running more, hills can be an invaluable tool to becoming a stronger, more efficient and ultimately happier runner.
In this Audio Coach session, TempoFit head coach Hayden Shearman will guide you through an ideal introduction to hill running. It has a moderate intensity, which means you should give yourself a few days either side of a race or hard run in order to freshen up and make the most of this workout.
You’ll begin with a 15-minute jog warm up, allowing you to jog to two nearby hills: one with a gentle gradient (200m or longer) and the other with a moderate gradient (100m or longer).
Suitable for all runners, whether slow or speedy, newbie or old-timer.
This guide is a listen-as-you-run audio tool. Save it to your phone or other MP3 player and play when you are ready to go running (preferably in a flat, measured and traffic-free running environment).

When NOT to use this workout: Don’t do this workout within a week either side of a key race (like a marathon), instead allow your legs to freshen up. And when your medical professional has told you “no hills”.
Terrain: Seek out two hills: one with a gentle gradient (200m or longer) and the other with a moderate gradient (100m or longer). You could equally use the gradient adjuster on a treadmill. The audio guide includes a 15-minute jog warm up, which allows you to run to the hills.
Price: $10 NZD
