As was stated earlier, a
useful tool in training can be to run on different
surfaces, as it relieves the constant pressure
of one kind of surface on the individual. Hill
running is an extension of this as it allows for
running on a different surface and also teaches
a slightly modified technique that is more aggressive
and requires more knee lift.

This is something
that can be an asset to anyone, whether for the
duration of a sprint race or for a finishing kick
in a distance race. It has more obvious benefits
for those who are going to do road races or
cross-country as it is very unlikely that any
of these races will be entirely flat.
