WillsHills work-outs begin at the YWCA.  The group meets at 5:30 am and then jogs to various locations along the Buffalo Bayou for a warm-up.  The warm-up involves various running drills for about five to seven minutes. The work-outs generally consist of a course that's designed to help runners develop speed, endurance, and strength.  Our work-outs vary each day and change each week.  Our schedule can be found by clicking on the "schedule" button above.  Our training routine usually involves:

• Non-track speed work  
• Tempo (pace runs) around Buffalo Bayou.
• Hill work usually once or twice a week. 
• Mile Repeats, Relay Races,
  
• Cross Training
  
• A friendly and encouraging atmosphere
  

         We incorporate:

                              *)Fartleks

                              *)Distance repeats                                       

                              *)Large and Small Hills

                              *)Time trials and more.

The work-outs are designed to help each runner, regardless of fitness, have fun, be challenged, and quickly develop cardiovascular fitness. After completing the running portion of our work-out we do five to ten minutes of plyometrics and strength training.  We jog back to the YWCA for hydration and finish the workout with about 10-15 minutes of stretching and calisthenics.
