Hill repeats, just like any interval or sprint workout, has its place in a training regimen--but cannot become the training regimen. Your body needs a break. I dont run, but am big into cycling. My typical week week will consist of a decently hard day with some sprint intervals, followed by a recovery ride day, followed by another decently hard day with some hill repeats. Ill then take a day off the bike, with the next day a nasty hammer ride with the local almost-pros. The next day is a recovery ride to loosen up the legs, then a day off the bike. Lather, rinse, repeat. Gives me time to recover, but also lets me work.
