Beyond Hill Sprints

Alistair Ramsay - Friday, August 13, 2010
As if hill sprints were not tiring enough Gymless Fitness client Jon Mount has discovered a devilish new location to perform them which includes 15 metres of steps at the top of the run! Jon has been using the hill and stair combo to build up his pre-season conditioning in preparation for the rugby season ahead where he hopes to help his side to a title winning campaign after two seasons of play-off agony!

Here Jon describes where you can find this awesome hill sprint location, if you live in SW London then get down there and give it a shot!

"See the pic below, you can just about make out the footpath on the diagonal between Buckhold and Merton Road. Its about 70-80m in total I reckon - finish off with about 15 metres of steps. Did 8 last night and nearly died"


Anyone else got an awesome hill near them?
