Yeah, running or walking on flat terrain uses different muscles to running uphill, or so I've been told.
Been reading various Scots hillwalking reports. Why do they all take their shoes off to cross rivers? It's better to have wet feet than to risk slipping. Besides, if you're wearing full leather boots, trousers and gaiters actually keep the water out, for a few minutes at least.
