#34	Lucas Felten March 10 at 8:22am Anyone know what spikes they're wearing? reply
#33	Anonymous Coward December 29, 2008 at 12:40am are they wearing spikes for this, sounds like it when they hit the sidewalk thing. reply
#32	David G October 3, 2008 at 2:13pm What are the two songs in the video? reply
#31	Not A Joke Expert, But September 19, 2008 at 10:46pm people aren't always serious. sometimes they make jokes. any year-olds know this. reply
#30	Go Hogs September 11, 2008 at 8:44pm Most 5 year olds also know what a "joke" is. Not an altitude expert either but.... was he also serious about elevation up the hill, being a high peak in the alpine regions of Fayetteville and all... Come on now. Anyway, sweet workout, should definitely put up more Arkansas stuff, maybe one of their legendary 48 min 10 mile steady states or their mile repeats in 4:20 finishing up that hill! reply
#29	Not A Tree Expert, But... September 7, 2008 at 12:27am Trees do not ABSORB oxygen. Trees EXUDE oxygen. 5 year-olds know this. reply
#28	Margaret August 20, 2008 at 3:55pm Dear Alistair, You were wonderful in Beijing, good luck in the 5k final. I know you will be a threat to all the other finalists. Best wishes, Margaret. reply
#27	Rory Tunningley August 17, 2008 at 2:05pm dude got worked in the 1500 first round reply
#26	Phil Anderson August 16, 2008 at 8:58am Nice one Al. You'll be glad to know that their are no pine trees around the olympic track that suck oxygen . . . only 100,000 humans. Best of luck bud. reply
#25	Adam August 15, 2008 at 8:54am Gotta love how people from flotrack like Ryan and Mark leave comments just like us little people =] reply
#24	Ryan From Flotrack August 14, 2008 at 2:51pm yes sir....you can type in workout wednesday in the search bar up top or go to http://www.flotrack.org/videos/coverage/view/249 reply
#23	Joseph DeMoor August 14, 2008 at 2:49pm is there a w/o wed section to go back and see all of the work outs? reply
#22	Concerning Kara Goucher August 13, 2008 at 10:01pm There is a Kara Goucher workout on this site. In fact it was probably the first workout... reply
#21	Pat Vaughn August 13, 2008 at 8:55pm I ran that hill for 5 years about 25 years ago. It's long and gradual. Builds great strenth without sacrificing a fast leg turnover reply
#20	Randy Adair August 13, 2008 at 3:50pm Good luck in Beijing on the 15th Alistair. Go Hogs! Coach Adair reply
#19	Sdfsdfdf August 13, 2008 at 3:13pm For all of you who are wondering, it's called a hill workout, so there is actually a hill. reply
#18	Anonymous Coward August 13, 2008 at 2:59pm i love these workout videos! you guys should do one of Kara Goucher! :) reply
#17	Hills... August 13, 2008 at 1:55pm Think about it...if the hill was steep like you'll are whining about, then the downhill part would be a painnnn. 400 meters down a pretty steep hill will not be too great for your back and knees reply
#16	Guys August 13, 2008 at 1:25pm stfu about the songs already reply
#15	Bryan Spreitzer August 13, 2008 at 1:02pm damn those oxygen sucking pine trees. reply
#14	Tanner Elliott August 13, 2008 at 12:36pm this was the best workout yet! reply
#13	Ryan From Flotrack August 13, 2008 at 12:21pm Don't forget that not all hills are mountains. Depending on the workout, if u get on a hill that's too steep it can be counterproductive. Different hills provide different benefits. Remember too that its track season, not xc. In this case they are on a 600m hill with a steady gradual incline. Just some things to think about and don't forget the saying...its not the size that matters. ;) reply
#12	Ireland August 13, 2008 at 12:06pm Up Ireland, Alistair go over there and give those knackers a beatin reply
#11	Dave August 13, 2008 at 12:03pm maybe not what everyone would call a hill but i can see an incline and im sure as hell they can feel it reply
#10	You Guys Are August 13, 2008 at 12:03pm dumb in the UT workout the hill was much much steeper and only 300 meters long...this one is less steeper but longer....its science reply
#9	Anonymous Coward August 13, 2008 at 11:56am He puts his arms in the air so his coach can get his splits. reply
#8	ivanvano13 August 13, 2008 at 11:51am "That girl on the back is loafish she's not driving" ? reply
#7	Cara Hawkins August 13, 2008 at 11:44am I love workout weds.. reply
#6	Rob Jackson August 13, 2008 at 11:34am Yo dudes,Where is the hill?If you go back to workout Wed and look at the Texas hill workout,that's a hill workout.I did'nt see an incline in the whole thing.Oh well,If the great coach Mcdonell says it's a hill,it's a hill.Whose gonna argue with one of the greatest coaches of all time. reply
#5	Hill... August 13, 2008 at 11:33am .......wheres the hill? lol I guess arkansas hills are much different from VA or PA hills still, these guys are pretty kickass...cragg hits the pace every time reply
#4	Hilotee August 13, 2008 at 11:31am it would be nice to run on a golf course like that. but the thing that i don't get is where's the hill? i thought it was interesting to see cragg put his hands in the air whenever he started/stopped his watch. never saw that before reply
#3	Hmm August 13, 2008 at 10:39am pretty tight workout but i'm sick and tired of the same damn songs over and over again. also the spikes on the pavement was a bit startling. like fingernails on the chalkboard. reply
#2	1000miles August 13, 2008 at 10:29am that's a hill? reply
#1	Roland Graves August 13, 2008 at 10:29am what does he say to the girl on the bike? reply

John McDonnell

Alistair Cragg Hill Workout

August 13, 2008

Bernard Lagat won't be the only Olympian doing the 1500/5k double. Ireland's Alistair Cragg will also try his hand at it! Alistair has run some great 3k as of late and will be focusing more on the 5k. This workout was an early part of his preparation in Fayetteville at the well-known Arkansas Golf Hill back in June. He is joined by Seth Summerside who had been coming off of injury and legendary Coach John McDonnell.
