Hill Running For Speed, Strength and
Endurance
A very simple way to build these three factors is to incorporate hill running to your regular workout, this is speed work in disguise.
The key to hill running is to be patient and take small steps, push but not to hard, always keep your breathing in control and arm swing must be regular, not to over pump going over the hills, forget about speed and the distance just be consistent. Once you get comfortable with the route you will know when to push and how hard.
A good enough hill workout is a 9 mile to 12 mile run for an average runner doing 50-70 miles per week, beginner runner with one month running experience 3 miles is enough to start, once comfortable you can increase a mile every two weeks.
Remember baby steps if hill running is new to you, once a week is fine because to much can cause injuries, too much of one thing in not good. Vary your training and you will see great results, train not strain.
