15:16 Share

The lure of downhill racing is pretty seductive. Courses promising fast times and scenic views are becoming more and more popular, especially for runners looking for the extra edge to finish in a personal record or to score a Boston qualifying time.

But downhill running is actually much harder on your body than flat or even uphill running and surprisingly, some runners end up being slower on courses with a lot of decline.

On today’s Run to the Top Podcast, Coach Claire talks all about downhill running and racing.  

You’ll learn:

• how downhill running uniquely affects your body
• how to run downhill properly to minimize the negative effects, and
• how to train better for a course with lots of decline
