Did you know that hill runs and repeats – running as fast as you can up a hill and then jogging slowly back down to recover – increases your calorie burn by up to 50 percent? Your downhill jog also engages your lower abs and works your quads. 

Hill runs burn more calories and increase endurance

So the next time you go out for a run or training session, find a hill and do a set of hill runs (fast run up, slow jog down) and you’ll burn more calories, engage more muscle groups AND increase your endurance (after a few weeks of hill training, the next time you run your regular route, you’ll be amazed at how easy it’s become).
