The Effects of Uphill vs. Level-Grade High-Intensity Interval Training on VO2max, VMax, VLT and TMax in Well-Trained Distance Runners.

 This recent study (see link below) has a control group which the other study concluding uphill interval improved 5km times did not. Because the study linked below has a control group, their conclusions is supported that,"both uphill and level-grade interval training can induce significant improvements in a run-to-exhaustion test in well-trained runners at the speed associated with VO2max, but that traditional level-grade training produces greater gains." I believe it would be safe to say that these types of training would lead to an improved 5km time.
