Warm up for 30' (including one take of the hill) Main: do 6 x 45sec of hill bounding.** finish each rep w/ 5" of flat sprint (not uphill, over the top!). Recovery for each rep is easy return to bottom of hill. Warm down for 15' ** hill bounding is exaggerated climbing. over-emphasize the take off and landing - allow your heel to drop below the toe level, then spring back up. bouncing here is okay - work your arms!!!

be sure to recovery propewrly after every run! especialy hard runs, long or short. 1. Wash your face and get out of your wet clothes into sweats, etc (no shower yet!). 2. Get right to some liquid calories (can be a home-made shake or recovery drink), must be consumed in first 15' after finishing. 3. Shower. 4. Lay down on floor and put legs up - 1' up for every 15' run. You do the math. Watch TV upside down, etc. 5. Get up and make a meal. Be sure to include protein in this (preferrable a 4:1 ratio of carbs to protein). 6. Sit down with legs up...watch TV, maybe nap.
