I expect he was referring to the fact that often the problem runners have with hills is more psychological than physical. I think the "pretend it is not a hill" approach means you should try to maintain a good steady running rhythm even when you are running uphill. In my experience, getting into a running rhythm that works for you is the best approach in any kind of distance race.
: A running coach told me the best way to run hills was to pretend it is not a hill. What did he mean by that?
