Run easy, climb steady and get stronger on the hills
I’m Meron. I train on high hills above a misty city and write running plans for club runners. I share how I run hill repeats, easy days, eating and sleep, and I sell plans, checklists and two video courses.

Why your easy days should feel too easy
Easy means you could talk in full sentences. Here is how to slow down enough to get the benefit.

What I eat before and after a hard hill session
Plain food, eaten at plain times, and what I do when the session is early and I do not feel like eating.
About
About me
I started running on a red dirt road above the city, where every route begins with a climb. I ran badly for years, because I ran every day at the same hard effort. Then a coach told me to slow down, and I got faster.
Now I coach a small club of everyday runners. Our week is simple: one hill session, a long run, and easy days that really are easy. I eat plain food, I protect my sleep, and I write down what I do.
Everything I post is what I do with my own club. The posts are free. What I sell is the part you can print and use: plans, checklists and logs, and two video courses for runners who want to climb with more patience.

Questions
How do I get my download?
After checkout you receive an email with a download link, and the same link is shown on the confirmation page. Every plan and sheet is a PDF made to print on ordinary A4 or Letter paper.
How does merch shipping work?
Each item is printed to order and shipped by Printful. The cost and delivery time show at checkout, and you get a tracking link when it leaves the printer.
Do I need to live on high ground to follow this?
No. Any hill will do, and so will a ramp, a long bridge or a treadmill with a slope. I show how to scale each session to the hill you have.
I have never run with a club. Can I start?
Yes. The first plan starts with walking and short jogs, and every session has an easier version. The first week is only about learning the effort.
Is this safe for me?
I am a coach, not a doctor. Talk to your doctor before you begin a new training plan, especially if you have an injury or a health condition, and stop if something hurts.
How often does the letter come, and how do I leave?
One every Friday. Every email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom, and it works at once.
