49. Up the ante.
"Move into a hill session gradually, running the first few repeats moderately and increasing the effort as you go alone." -Frank Shorter, 1972 Olympic Marathon Champion.
50. Avoid the downside.
"The Advantage of running hills on a treadmill is you can go up without pounding down the other side." -Ken Sparks, Ph.D.
51. Ramp it up.
"If you live in the flatlands, you'll have to be creative about hill training. Deserted highway ramps or parking garages are possibilities, though they pose obvious safety problems. You may want to invest in a treadmill." -Bob Glover, runner/author/coach.
52. Grab hold of the rope.
"If you're laboring up a steep hill, imagine a towrope is attached to the center of your chest, pulling you steadily toward the top." -Jeff Galloway.
53. Lean into it.
"When going down, I lean with the hill. I know I'm doing it right if I feel like I'm going to fall on my face." -Ed Eyestone, RW columnist, coach, and two-time U.S. Olympic marathoner
54. Save something for the summit...
"Don't attack a hill from the very bottom-it's bigger than you are!" -Harry Groves, renowned Penn State coach.
