This challenge can be done at any point this weekend.
Run
If you're indoors on a treadmill - Do 5 & 2's = 5 mins @ 0% incline, 2 mins @ 3%, 5 mins @ 0%, 2 mins @ 5%, 5 mins at 0%, 2 mins @ 7%, then 10 mins @ 0 for cooldown. If you want more, keep your 2 mins @ 5%.
If you're outdoors - Find a hill, run for 5 mins on flat ground, run up and down said hill 4-6 times (depending on the difficulty), then cooldown and run for 10 mins on flat ground.
If you have an HRM - Pay attention to your heart rate during your climbs. Over time, if you continue on with consistent hill training, you shoud see your HR come down quicker during your recovery periods. Training your body to come down quickly for recovery is going to be very beneficial during this race.

I love it that you post these and how enthusiastic you are... I cant do most of them YET, but am working on my own progress.
My gym got 2 new stair machines that are KILLER..5 minutes was difficult, so I am going to go do some work on that.
I figure any kind of stair work would help with the hills as well.0 -
I love them too. My leg isn't there yet but shortly I am it!0
