Biking up hills requires strength. Do some of the bicycle strength training and go up easy hills before tackling the big ones. I also recommend walking or running up hills. Train for them so you can stay on your bike.
Cycling up hills can be difficult but it is also rewarding. It can provide you with a sense of accomplishment and a good view.
Save your interval training sprints for the hills. Build up momentum before you get there and sprint up the hill. For longer or steeper hills alternate between a fast and slow pace. You can catch your breath and pick up a lot of speed on the way down. If there is another hill nearby, peddle instead of coasting the whole way down and use the extra speed to get partway up the next slope.
Choose Your Hills Wisely
It is okay to get off and walk. Give yourself permission to stop before getting to the top of a big hill the first 2 or 3 times. Improve your strength and endurance and try again later. Some hills can wipe you out. They are not worth the effort. Get off your bicycle and walk so you don't ruin the rest of your bike ride.
