Just curious having read the StrongFirst Roadwork and Strength Aerobics articles as to which of the three energy pathways (alactacid, glycolytic or aerobic) a hill sprint workout might use? I'm keen to better understand the science behind different forms of conditioning.
For example, if I use a moderately steep, 80 metre hill from bottom to top which takes me about 10-15 seconds to sprint up with maximal effort, and perform 5-7 sprints with a 30-45 second jog back to the bottom between sprints, which pathway(s) is being used here?
Thanks in advance for any replies everyone!
