Good point. But I’m picturing a 4 foot board raised 4 feet on one end. Looks vertical to me.
How about a 4 foot board raised on one end by a 2.828 foot board? (Took me about 5 minutes and a graphing calculator to figure this out. Stupid Pythongirus.)

Not to turn this into a geometry thread but raising a 4 foot board 2 feet off the ground would be 26.5 degrees. A 4 foot board raised 4 feet on one end would be 45 degrees.
If this still makes no sense to people, at 45 degrees, for every metre you go forward, you go up a metre in height.
meaning that for every horizontal meter you go forward, you rise 1 meter. the hypotonuse(hill slope) would be somewhere around 1.4 meters.
my orginal reply was silly, and representative of my poor math skills.
yeh, i guess we turned this into a geometry thread, haha. [/quote]
Someone send this thread to Ronnie Coleman and ask him to figure it out for us.
I try to vary it.
But I still think that one decent session a week should do! As a additon to whatever you do, of course. OCCASIONALLY 2xweek is not going to do any harm.
Re: how long, steep. I reckon 45 degrees IS FINE for 15-20 sec sprints.
How many - anything between 4 and 6 should be sufficient
You can get hold of something NOT that steep but somewhat longer ? if you do 2-3 x 30 sec flat-out you can go home. They make me breath like after 3 mile race
Work to rest ratio ? keep it around 1:3
Remember to warm-up and cool-down properly!
it’s really hard work but good fun at the same time
