improve your climbing speed.

For me short and hilly is better for the heart rate and uses more energy.

If its a short ride just go and attack those hills!

Trying to get as fit as possible for crit racing this summer. Flat closed circuits...

What's the best type of training to do - work on the flat, doing speed and interval drills - or go ride the numerous and significant hills in the area to improve overall fitness? (I REALLY suck at hills as I carry too much body weight - but am working on getting that down also).

Or a combination of both - fast one day, hills another day, etc?

Thanks!
