I live in Chicago and don't keep a car, so finding anything steep to run up has been a challenge. I finally took Wendler's advice and started google searching for sledding-hills in my area, and lo and behold there is a great, man-made hill I didn't know about nestled in the middle of a park that's only a 15-20 minute walk from my house:
This is really great, and I expect to get out here at least for one day a week as long as the weather is decent.
I was also pleased to be able to to rattle off 20 minutes on this guy with just the walk back down as my rest. At least I know the much less steep incline sprints I'd been doing had accomplished something. Next weekend, I will go for 22+ minutes, and progress from there.
