Hill repeats! Find a hill to die on! 1136m climb

Finished my weekend hill repeat session and noticed my body is adapting fast.
I aimed for doing 1km climbing (min 29 climbs) but as I was climbing I was also calculating if I had sufficient time to reach that goal. By doing so I lost count 3 times before the end of the first hour. I decided to just ignore the number of climbs and just keep running until all my available time today ran out (had 2h before I had to drive back so my wife could hit her gym class in time.

This turned out to be a productive call as instead of 1000 m climbing, I ended with 1136 m.

I picked the winding path again and just kept running. No breaks, no slowing down just steady to the top and head back down right away. It felt pretty smooth and despite no variation in the route there was plenty to see.

I did bring some nutrition with me (both sis hydro cola as a drink, aswell as 3 energy gels from which 2 isotonic and one double espresso caffeine boost) I decided to use the caffeine boost and ignore the 2 isotonic energy gels. I felt strong enough and had unintentionally stacked carbs yesterday evening - so fuel was alright!

For next weeks I am considering two approaches:

1. Increase the training time every week => more climbs => more specific muscle growth.
2. Keep the training time at 2h and focus on becomibg more efficient first before adding more trainingstime.

What is your experience with this?

Happy running!
