Hills Training - Episode #173

I usually don't incorporate hills training when I train for marathons. The reason is I like flat courses! But since I'm going to attempt the Blue Ridge Marathon, it doesn't hurt to do some hill repeats. That and more in the latest episode of the Running in the Center of the Universe Podcast.
