Hill Training - Finding a Hill

Find a hill with a moderate grade, about 10-15%. If it's too steep you can't develop a good sustained drive and rhythm. Run at about 85% effort (slightly faster than 10K race pace) and jog slowly down to recover. If you need more rest between, take it. This is not supposed to be an anaerobic workout. Start with about four hills and increase by one a week until you can run 8-12 hills. Give yourself at least two days rest between bill workouts and races or long runs.
