A crappy day at the Beaver Creek Assent. 6 hours of uphill running and taking the chairlift down.

The two challenges of uphill and downhill running can be the breaking point of any race to a runner. On the uphill you can expend all of your energy, and on the downhill you can injure yourself – with both factors leading to one thing – poor results during your race. Today Dr. Romanov briefly touches on the subject of uphill running with a quick demonstration as well as some sample footage from the ING Miami Marathon this past week.

Running downhill on Nagyhideg-hegy (in Hungary). I’d love to check this place out!
