First, hill training - using hills in your training. The two main type of training runs doing that will be your hill repeat, and you hill run. Hill repeat are very similar to interval training, where you go for short burst of effort, followed by a rest. Repeat these run / walk cycle for about 30 min. On the other hand, hill run consist of a mid-distance run with a reasonable uphill gradient, which you will jog consistently up.
