first off about the heat/warm conditions .. here 2 articles on Time-to-Run
Training and Competition in Warm Conditions
and
Collapse in the heat
as for Hillwork .. these programs make the most of the sessions needed to achieve the various times and when the athlete progresses time wise they will note that Hillwork is introduced though the session that has the greatest impact on improvement is most definitely the 2000m session
once the athlete has gone through a few cycles and then has an off period followed by the Build Up we alter the program slightly with the knowledge that the athlete has been through the process and is ready for the changes to the program
we can't provide too many elements until the athlete has developed, so the programs are progressive
hope this helps
TheEd
ps.. less to start with is always better and you can know that the programs are all progressive according to athlete feedback
