haha double post stef
Believe me I’ve tried. The grass isn’t level and I tweaked my ankle a bit when I first tried. Also halfway up the ramp theres another sidewalk that extends perpendicular to this ramp. So if I used spikes so to not slip on the grass, about halfway up id run on concrete for a step or two!
Like I said, this concrete works fine in trainers.
Great setup. I think that concrete in thick padded trainers is fine too. I am curious, what degree is the hill? How have your results been?
btw nice avatar :eek: 
I ultimately train to become a better basketball player, so I don’t do too much timing of my sprints. Though, I think I took off up to .05 easily off my 10 yard dash (noone give me crap about the distance/timing I used video frame timing and it’s all I got).
Also, after I started doing hills, I finally felt like I got something out of lying starts on the track. After doing hills, your feet can push farther behind your COG so obviously lying starts will be easier.
Lastly, either due to my inexperience, lack of coaching, tight quads, anterior pelvic tilt, lack of therapy, or all of the above, I occasionally get lower-outer hamstring strains when I do speed work on flat ground and start getting upright at top speed (I don’t even like doing anything over 20 meters because of this). With hills this doesn’t happen. So hills are very economical for me.
I’ll bring my protractor next time to measure the angle.
