    One thing I've never forgotten from my cross-country racing days is to keep my eyes on the trail about 3 feet (1 meter) in front of me. Don't look at the top of the hill. Your brain will freak and see only the hill. Keeping your eyes "close to your body", as you're doing with arm and leg movement, will trick the brain into thinking the trail is flatter than it is. This makes a huge psychological difference to me.

    Lean forward, stay on toes, keep small tight armswings, shorter steps with higher cadence and bounce up the hill. Thanks for the training for uphill training.

    Hey Mr Vlad.. I loved this. I m a naturally strong uphill runner and have been training uphill to be better. I "think" that I cansteal a LOT of time from stronger runners there.. I ll be using ALL your tips. Funny you said :" anyone can hike uphill" at the end. That s what I think bout downhill. But ive been working it anyway cause i seem to have irregularly high HR downhill. TY for the # of repeats within race year schedule, very good info. Ima try n place the best I can in September m8. been training since January for it. LETS GO BRO

    Thanks. I am training for an ultramarathon race the upcoming summer and have been walking up a hill and running down. I am now in a shape that I can start running up that hill, not starting running in the steepest part of that hill.
    The video was very good and informative. Again...THANKS!

    As a trailrunning newbie I struggle a lot with my heartrate just flying through the roof as soon as I run uphill... would you still recommend those training methods or rather build a solid base with some Zone 1/Zone 2 road running?

    After watching your uphill and downhill video last night. I used your techniques on a trail run today and got a PB on an uphill and downhill segment (that I have completed 153 and 38 times respectively). I need to remember to go harder in sections even on easier runs to condition for ups and downs.

  • @z0uLess

    I am a middle aged man that has been running in some way or form for my whole life and I have noticed that my stride tend to be much longer than most runners. My football coach used to say that I was running with too long of a stride. When I got into running and started to participate in races 15 years ago, I worked for many years to get into a cadence of 180 steps per minute and running more on the forefoot. I recent years, with longer periods of not competing vs. myself in running, I have noticed that my cadence has naturally dropped down to 175, and maybe even closer to 170 at times. I have long legs (about 94 cm measured on the inside of my leg), so I see now that my personal running mechanics probably was leaning towards lower cadence. The moral of the story is that, as I see it, you just have to go out there and run. Every step, your body adapts to make itself more efficient. If you struggle with injury, changing your form might help, but overthinking it with videos like this is a bad idea, in my opinion. If you have a strong body geared towards more general fitness, swinging your arms more might give you a better flow in the uphill running.

    Vlad, it’s the little things in life that makes a huge difference …
    Usually your videos are very practical, about beneficial strength training and consistency, which is obviously at high importance level, but this video, is different.
    I tried your recommended technic and I must say, I find it revolutionary, on both trail and road alike …
    When I first saw it, I thought to myself, REASONABLE & LOGICAL, but what’s the catch ?
    Then I tried it and I must admit, NO CATCH !
    This is really a top of the line advice, thank - you - so - very - much !

    Hi Vlad great video like always. In my country (Bulgaria) all ultras are really steep. Last race I run was 70k with 4000m D+ with uphils above 40%. So :), when do you switch to walking and do you mix your running with some fast walking on those most steap hills or it is better to train for this hardest parts by improving our VO2 max by the means shown in the video?

    • @VladIxel
      @VladIxel  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      If its very steep I would go right away with hiking - make sure you do hiking workout - this can be 10 x 1min hike up as fast as you can still aiming for v02max effort
