In this week’s new video I demonstrate a simple exercise to help build leg strength for running downhill.
So many runners find the hardest part of running a hilly course to be the downhill sections… The knees and quadriceps often take a hammering.
Give these tips a try to help your body better stand-up to the demands of downhill running 🙂
Thanks James – another fab video that makes a lot of sense! 😉
Thanks for the support Ceri 😀
Let me know how you get on with the exercise!
Great eccentric control exercise. Thanks for the info!
Thanks Melanie 🙂
this is really useful, the one video i really needed for next year thanks James
Thanks Bazz! Glad it helps.
How often should one do this exercise starting out? You said 5-6 sets of 30 seconds each. Should this be done twice a week? More often?
If one is also incorporating running downhill in training should they still continue doing this exercise and if so, should they decrease how often they do it?
Thanks!
