Hill Workout!

Here's a hill interval I taught today:

It's a 10 minute hill so I did it 3 times after a good 8 minute warm-up.  The first hill was a moderate 6/10 hill.  The second one was moderate to hard - about a 7/10 and then the last one 8-9/10 effort.  Recovery in between can be for as long as you need depending on how hard you worked on the hill.  You should feel ready to climb before you start the next hill.  Here's what to do on each:

Climbing: 60-75rpm  Pushes: 75-85rpm (huge effort)

Seated climb 2 min / Standing climb 2 min / Standing push 1 min
Seated climb 1 min / Standing climb 1 min / Standing push 45 sec
Seated climb 30 sec / Standing climb 30 sec / Standing push 30 sec
Seated climb 15 sec / Standing climb 15 sec / Standing push 15 sec

Recover and repeat.

Super simple and super challenging ;)
