During Training

One method used to increase speed is hill repeats. Choose a challenging hill on a local school field that takes 15 to 60 seconds to run. Do 5 to 10 repetitions depending on how you feel. You may want to try 5 reps the first time then 3-4 weeks later do 8 reps then 3-4 weeks later try 10 reps. Don’t do more than 10 reps and practice this once a week. Start with an easy warm up of 5-10 min on a flat surface and close out the workout with another slow and easy 5-10 min as a cool down.
