Great tutorial! I feel like I have gradually picked up this knowledge through experience, and feel way better about my technique development after watching this.
Just wanted to mention that many times I've been that guy that lazily doesn't train enough uphill, conserves the whole way up, then blasts by ppl in droves on the downhill. I almost feel bad doing it, but what can ya do? 😅
Great video and some really good information about the body position when running down. I can run fast down and usually let my feet go as yours...making it a little tougher for my legs, but the speed is really increasing when doing it right. Again...THAKS! /Thomas Lummi
Thanks Vlad! I get overtaken always on the trail downhills and it's getting worse! I feel I've lost a fair amount of agility and 'bounce' and it shows on the more technical trails. Am also super slow now on downhill stairs (lots of these on Hong Kong trails!). Any of your strength workout videos you can recommend? Oh - found it as someone already asked the same question. Will try that workout!
Thank you for sharing. Very well timed video! Summer in the UK, and many runners are hitting the trails. Downhill is definitely something I need to work on. Can you recommend one of your strength workouts to support downhill running?
@@VladIxel Thank you Vlad! It's pretty flat where I live, we have one 'proper' hill that takes me two minutes to run up and about thirty seconds to run down lol But it's something. I'll add this routine to my rotation.
Great video. Thank you! What is your suggestion on the downhills at 2nd half of a 50mile or 100mile race? By then legs most likely are sore and don’t have that much flexibility and mobility like the beginning of the race.
yes it very hard with those long ultra trail races - try and "save" the legs at the early stages of the race and make sure you do a lot of strength work to build up the strength in the legs
Our local trail is so much muddy and most of the time it rains there and the ground is always wet (mud). No matter how big are the teeth of my shoes... muds will really push you down :(
Great info thanks, I wish I knew this sort of stuff when I was trail running. But I would say that if you want to be faster down hill, bring those flailing arms in and under control.

"Oh there's some uneven leafs" that part had me laughing out loud.

Thank you! Apparently that 🙌
Really useful stuff, learned something new even having been trail running for years! Thanks!
Great tutorial thank you!!! great idea to tape myself! got a mountain marathon tomorrow and doing last minute research :)
Saved to rewatch in the future! Great tips and demos.
thank you! and also thank you for your Bix order 🙏

Great video! Thanks Vlad! Sharing on the VRWA page 💚💚💚

Great video Vlad. Good to see Bix make a cameo on the latest Seth James DeMoor video.
thank you! yes from that little 3sec Bix was on we got 4 orders from the US 🤯
@@VladIxel you and @seth are both my favorites channel to watch!

Need one on steep downhills like the side of mountains. The example here is abit tame for most trail races.
Greetings from Taiwan, very helpful thanks!

Excellent and in-depth. Any more technique videos to come? Uphill strategies etc?
thank you! yes coming soon 🤗
As always really helpful video. Thank you for this

😂😂😂😂

I'm amused by what you call "a hill" and "technical" 🤣🤣🤣
Wow you must be so much more experienced then
