There are plenty of hills where I live, however what I am looking for is the ability to run a half marathon distance at a steady 8-9% incline.
Not often, but probably once a month or thereabouts to check how fast I can do it.
Sadly none of the steeper hills around here are 21.1km long.
Treat like you would the cycle leg, and do hill repeats.
Theres usually at least one high gradient tredmill in each gym up here. I'd have to be a particulary intense state of self hate to set one to 8% for 21km.
BTW. I was hoping to get out for a last cycle over the next week or so. But its now -2C, and snow covered from 1300m up. Feck it.
