So doing the same hill over and over is maybe more typical. I'm doing 6 different climbs but maybe that's not a big deal.

What I'm curious about is how sprinting up a hill and pushing something close to max effort and then, assuming I crap out before the top and most likely will, rolling back down and trying a few more times before moving on to the next hill. Is doing hill repeats more about steady climbing over and over or sprinting over and over or a mix of both?

What are the pros/cons to sprinting up hills vs steading climbing?
