I train exclusively for short hill climbs but training volume depends massively on a week by week basis, I've always been a fan of auto regulating rather than structured training (by personality more than anything). Having said that I have tried structured training for the past 2 months and don't like it but it has ensured my volume has stayed high (eg 2-3 sessions a week z3/4 1-2hours) and that I take rest days with intention rather than always contemplating whether I could get a pb somewhere...typically a week is:
1) 2x hill climb specific sessions (and weights after) @ 3 hours each, albeit 1 hour is junk miles getting to/from the hill
2) 2x aerobic sessions @ 2 hours each
3) 1x Sunday session of 1-[8] hours, intentionally flexible, depending on how knackered I am.
Keeping it on thread, my entire sense of self is predicated on my times uphill relative to other people #fragilemasculinity
