    I despise running downhill. I would describe my downhill running experiences as beginning with existential dread, progressing as a barely controlled fall, and concluding with painful sobs and contemplations of ordering a tunnel boring machine to prep the course for next time.

    When you're going fast enough each step feels like a 5 foot drop.

    Can you do a video on hill swimming? That’s the part I struggle with the most. All the local pools around me are pretty flat.

    If you have good form, running downhill is a blast! If you have poor form, you will find yourself braking each step.

    I focus a lot on downhill running and I think it is one of the best thing one can do (unless you race only on a flat track).

    Cadence and foot placement vid will be a helpful vid for me, so I'm interested in the tips you guys will provide. Downhill running on smoother terrain is not a problem, but I've had my most serious ankle injuries on trail runs (and I would prefer to run on trails).

    I would like to train my downhill, but yeah I live in the Netherlands so that's not going to happen.
    On the positive side there are almost no hills in the races over here.

    If your great a downhill running, it’s very effective in an XC race. Lag behind on the uphill and catch back on downhill. But only when the downhill isn’t too far away.

    I like downhills and have made loads of time and places before. Only thing i found was jarring knees on them at speed causes issues. Had to run a 50 miler with a dodgy knee after overloading it on a bump on a previous race. The week afterward my pt worked out how to sort it with heavy single leg squats. Clicked straight back in.

    I think you need to talk about footstrike when running downhill. Should you land on your heel, midsole, or foot?

    I feel natural going downhill I love it, here in eastern ct we have quite a bit of short punchy steep gradients so depending on the road ya could see 20 % gradients going down or up

  • @andreslinares6429
    @andreslinares6429 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I just saw a video from Salomon that says you should avoid 100% heel strike in downhill, because you could twist the ankle. Now I'm confused

    • @danan9061
      @danan9061 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      if its a technical trail forefoot landing gives more flexibility than a heel strike but on a flat path you can maybe control descent better with heel strike. I can kinda see the benefit even though im a bit anti heel strike
