About this listen
Climbing, descending, and hiking — it’s all part of trail running, but most runners don’t actually train how to do each one efficiently.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the mechanics and mindset of running uphill and downhill so you can move stronger, softer, and smarter on every kind of terrain. We’ll talk about:
- How to use your glutes, hamstrings, and calves for power without burning out
- What “going up easy” really means (and why it’s not about pace)
- How to handle downhill fear without over-braking or wrecking your quads
- When to shift from running to hiking — and why hiking is time under tension that builds strength
Whether you’re training for your first 50K or just want to stop dreading the climbs or descents, this episode will help you understand how to use the terrain instead of fighting it.
