HOW TO RUN DOWNHILL - Running Insights #10 with Andrew Tunstall 

I struggle with one of my knees after an snowboarding accident and this was so helpful and informative, I want to run a full marathon and I need all the tips I can get to help my knees handle it. Thank you!

Great video, first half marathon this weekend and I know this’ll help me survive the declines! 😊

thank you

Fantastic! One of the clearest explainations of how to run with confidenec downhill.

This was a very helpful video. I am about to start training for my first downhill Marathon.

Loved this, much needed as ive spent years working on up-hills (with very little impact) and only just realising its the downhills that are destroying me, Many thanks 👌

Thank you, i recently got iliotibial band syndrome from running downhill and i see i did everything to deserve it. What you said makes alot of sense and i will use it to avoid injury.

Thank you. I do regular fitness runs and really have challenges doing hills. You explained it so well in this video. I will work on it and give you feedback soon.

My neighborhood is all steep hills so this is helpful.

Amazing video! Clear and easy to understand explenation. That’s how tutorials should be made. Thank you as i am in my final week of training for a short and fast trail race in Italy

This video was quite helpful. I live in a very hilly area, and I get cautious when running downhill in fear of injuring myself. Will definitely implement this on my next run!

Verrry helpful. Wish I’d found vid earlier in training, but will come in handy in just two days!

this is really good advice! Thank you!!

Great video, thanks. I like how you jumped right into the tips and content. So many videos on this topic start with 3-5 minutes of fluff.

Very very helpful, thank you!

Great video and explanation. Thank you

Very good. Thank you!

Am racing today, 1/2 marathon lots of downhills to conquer today.

Very informative, let me try to implement it

Muchas gracias desde Chile

Thanks got bad shin and knee problems but still wanna run!

Great video! what kind of weight training is good for getting my legs stronger for downhill running?

I’d like to know where this is. Looks like a beautiful running location.

👍👍👏👏

It would be nice to quantify the degree of grade encountered and how it affects technique. A 2% or 3% grade can be a free lunch, flying much faster with zero breaking. Whereas a 15% grade is the worst of all worlds, and simply to be avoided!!

How to avoid falling down during downhill run?

You should call the county to get those weeds handled. Good video.

With all due respect, if gravity is an absolute then you are not fighting gravity pulling you backwards or forwards when running hills. Gravity (supposedly) pulls to the centre of the earth, meaning from your feet, straight down, not backwards or forwards…makes sense, doesn’t it. Look at the grass and wild flowers in the background of the vid, they are not leaning downhill, they are straight. See? So that leaves the question about gravity as an absolute. It can’t exist, it is a theory. Objects rise and fall simply because of density or in this running case, the angle of a slope. Objects sink or float because of buoyancy, if not then fish should all be sucked to the bottom of the ocean. The same thing goes for babies crawling, if there was such a thing as gravity then they would not be able to support their own spines, let alone lift their underdeveloped muscles in their arms and legs. Gravity is simply a theory and a silly one if you really think about it, I mean really think about it. How can a little butterfly just gently flutter or float around if there is such a scary thing that can pull and hold the oceans down, but butterflies can float around or helium balloons can float away? Smoke floats everywhere, it does not get pulled down with a force that can keep oceans pinned to a spinning ball. Thanks for the vid thoughz

thank you
