From Boston to UTMB, there's a lot of time to be gained on downhill sections of a course if you know how to run them properly.
Today, with the help a veteran trail runner we'd like to discuss some of the dos and don’ts of downhill running.
Knowing how to run downhill successfully will help you avoid potential injuries, cut time, and preserve your quads in the later miles of a race. Keep in mind, most of the form techniques we’ll cover can apply to both road and trail running.
Here are some RU-vid tutorials for the exercises discussed in the video:
Single Leg Squat
Bulgarian Split Squat
Bench step ups (with or without dumbbells)
• 3 simple DOWNHILL STRE...
Supine Marching
• Supine Marching
Lateral/Forward Hops
• Lateral Hops

It seems like I can approach down hills in one of 2 ways: holding back or opening up the stride and letting gravity just do its thing. The latter seems to be very dangerous on my body from repetitive use injuries and so even though it is very fast, I rarely do it. Only in a race and when I care a lot about the race.

Glad I found this. one thing I have found in any sport. Like they said look out a ways. But I try to look where I want to go not at what I am afraid of. If I look at a rock i will hit it. If I look at the path next to it that is where my foot tends to land. It seems to work for Rowing, Snowboarding, Mountain biking and Down Hill Trail Running. Great video Thank you! I tend to prefer the downhill part of the run.

Didn't keep a soft bend in my knee, hyperextended my knee now I'm out for recovery. Lesson learned. Hopefully nothing too bad.

Ouch! Wishing you a speedy recovery, Michael!

@@TalesIncs hi the actual path where I got my tendons severly inflamed was no ordinary. The downhills lasted for ages (500m to 800m) with a decent of perhaps moderate 5 degrees. So I took thousands of strides more or less in a row with excess force to the achiles tendons.

Arms wide and mobile. Use them extensively for balancing

Thank you for the useful tips But the downhill I looked for it doesn't look anything like this. We've more like a slope downhill. When I am running this downhill my footing strike isn't well and I seem to put a lot of pressure in the foot and I can actually feel it in every strike

Hi, Prazol! Thanks for the response. This video was filmed on trails but it does apply to the roads as well. What part of the foot are you landing on?
