Our endurance workout will be quickly followed by 6 x 8 seconds steep hill sprints at maximum intensity.  

Hill sprints (and sled pulls) are a core part of this training cycle. The purpose of this type of workout is to strengthen your running endurance.  And the short hill repeats will strengthen all your running muscles which will make you less injury prone.  In addition, the hill repeats will increase your power and efficiency enabling you to run faster while using less energy.
