Every week is an adventure in hill work. Every week is different. Some workouts include...

30 minute continuous run. Sprint up the 0.4 mile incline, touch the graffiti wall at the top, turn around and jog back to the bottom and then repeat.

Timed interval sprints. 45 seconds as hard as you can up. 1 minute and 45 seconds recovery jog back to the start. You will be winded!

NOTE: there is NO secure place to store bags, valuables, etc. Please use caution and do not bring anything you cannot afford to lose. If you do leave your belongings at the bottom of the bridge (where we start running) be aware that there is a lot of foot traffic and it would not be surprising if something "walked away."
