Fast hills

This morning I just couldn't get up for my run, so I had to pay the price and run in the heat of the afternoon, but the extra hour and a half of sleep was worth it.
I ran 5 in the hills @ 36, really pushing the uphills and flying back down. I'm going to try to do this run once as a week as a strength workout, plus I get some speed in the legs on the downhills; the leg turnover has to be really quick on some of the steeper hills.
So that will be part of a weekly schedule to maximize the time spent running; one strength run, one faster run, either a tempo or fartlek session, and a long run on the weekend. The other two or three days will just be easy flat miles.
