apologies Dave .. on 'normal' occasions that is a nice slope however if you are able to find any hills which are rolling .. rolling would mean a mild incline over a course that is hilly
what you did would make it too much of a quality session for the build-up (too structured) .. rolling is closely related to relaxed, so a relaxed run which incorporates hills .. the hills will inevitably cause a higher heart rate and if incorporated correctly makes magic aerobic development while gaining strength
magic stuff

ps.. in our distance runner development, the length of hill should be around 600m, anything shorter creates too much effort .. the idea would be to run 600m @ 10 km effort .. the developed athlete gets 10 x 600m
and maybe you can get there soon
