Josh:

If your “step mill” is of the escalator type, then you should be able to get a very good ME training effect on it.  As you progress, you can use some of the saved drive time to extend the ME sessions on the machine.  Your hill sounds perfect, though, so maybe occasionally toss in a session there. 40% is very steep and probably will give some good technique training for balance and coordination on steep, rough ground.

Thanks for writing in.
