# Is it useful to include hill workouts in my training plan, and if so, how should I incorporate them?

If you're a road runner, it can be very beneficial to do some of your intensity sessions on hills. The sessions in your plan that are most suitable for this are those labeled "strength endurance" and "speed."

If you're training for a trail race, hill workouts are a must! All "trail hill" sessions should be done on an incline. All other intensity sessions can also be done on hills, but you'll need to rely on perceived effort and heart rate rather than pace. For your long runs, we recommend doing them as much as possible on hilly or mountainous terrain that closely resembles your race course.
