AROUND THE WORLD, CASCADES, FOOTHILLS, INTERVAL, KILIMANJARO
, and
SPEED TRAINING
are variations
of the HILL workout. These workouts cannot be changed “on the fly.”
AROUND THE WORLD is an interval-training workout in which the hills resemble scenes of various geographical areas.
CASCADES is a two-peak workout in which intensity levels gradually increase and decrease.
FOOTHILLS is a rolling hill workout with low intensity levels.
INTERVAL is a HILL workout in which intensity levels rise and fall. The higher levels gradually incline toward a peak and
then gradually decline.
KILIMANJARO is a HILL workout in which the intensity levels gradually incline toward one ultimate peak and then grad-
ually decline.
SPEED TRAINING is a HILL workout in which the intensity level alternates between high and low levels very quickly to
simulate a typical speed training workout.
