Cricket Mtn Repeats
A little mountain by the lake.
Saturday mornings at 5:30. Two hours of running up and down a hill that Chicago was kind enough to provide.
Run the climbs at your own effort, recover on the descents, and repeat. Stay for a few laps or stick around for the entire session. Nobody's counting but you.

What to expect.
- Workout
- Repeated climbs on Cricket Hill, with downhill recovery between efforts. Find a rhythm that works for you. Run, jog, hike, or mix it up.
- Effort
- Self-directed. There is no required pace, and completing every repeat isn't the point. High-fives in passing encouraged (optional after 150 repeats).
- Terrain
- Grass and paved areas around Cricket Hill. Specific repeat routes and conditions may vary.
- What to bring
- Running shoes (trail preferable, but road shoes work), water and fueling as you require, and whatever you normally need for an early-morning workout. A headlamp is encouraged for the early start when it's dark.

Bad weather. Good hills.
Rain, wind, snow, cold, heat. We're not particularly picky.
Lightning, thunderstorms, tornado warnings, and other dangerous conditions are a different story. Stay safe and stay home.
Know your limits, dress for the conditions, and participate at your own risk. Check for schedule updates before heading out.
First time?
Good. Everyone had a first hill repeat. No registration, no required pace, and no obligation to stay for the entire workout. Come climb a few hills with us.
