hills

Mountain running offers an exhilarating blend of physical challenge and natural beauty, especially when tackling steep climbs and navigating fast, technical descents. To master these aspects, it's essential to focus on specific techniques, draw inspiration from elite athletes, and incorporate targeted exercises to enhance stability and control.

Alison Hamlett says "Learn to love hills and you’ll become a stronger athlete." 

Hills are hard. That’s why many of us run or ride around – rather than over – them in training. You might even choose races that are flat in an effort to keep your hill time to a minimum. But the truth is tackling hills will make you a stronger, faster athlete.
