Today's WOD is hill runs at the bottom of the Wendy's hill in Indian Battle Park. No, this is not my idea as we all know how big a fan of running I am. Aaron Stout was a trivia winner from last week and this is his gift to you. Not sure why Stout always campaigns to make people dislike him, but he does.
In all seriousness, hill runs are an excellent method of conditioning. The energy output required to go up the hill is enough to put people on their butts wheezing for air. You need to attack the hill in the same manner that we normally attack our WOD's in order for it to be successful and effective.
On the weekend I had the pleasure of taking in the Catalyst Athletics seminar with Mike 
Kesthely that I talked about previously. The first presenter of the day was Greg Everett. Greg is an amazing lifter and an extremely knowledgeable individual. He is the writer and publisher of Performance Menu, which is a top shelf publication dealing with everything from strength and flexibility to nutrition. He spoke on correcting Olympic Lifting errors and how to spot them. It was very insightful and an excellent addition to the other seminar I took with Coach Mike Burgener. It was the perfect follow up and graduation to the next level of coaching. It was full of information and tips you only gain from experience and coaching multiple successful athletes.

Come one come all. I'll drive people out with me - and we'll just do some hill running. Thanks Cory for the chance to feed my obsession.

Yay for Liz! Way to brave the elements and kick some hill but. You were a oasis in the cold. And you pushed me to do way more reps than I thought I'd do. Running with a friend is the best thing around.
