Things I do for hill training:

- Haul groceries and other heavy stuff up Novely Hill (2.25mi, 600+ feet gain)
- Fixed gear commuting
- Ride steeper hills on personal rides than expected on any club routes (15% or more)
- Kilo sprints with short recovery; sprint, recover on remaining 0.375mi, repeat 5 - 7x
- Hill repeats; pick a hill and ride up it. Then ride back down and up again. And again. Until you're sick of it.
