  • I know running up hill is not supposed to be easy, but any tips greatly appreciated.
    I feel like I'm just running on my toes taking quick steps. Is this right? Should I be aiming for more heel to bum?
    I have no idea what I'm doing.

    I've started running with the metronome setting on my Fenix 3 watch which has been interesting (current avg -184 steps per min if anyone cares), and much like cycling I find that it helps if stride length is reduced, cadence is increased slightly, nice upright posture, get a good swing to the arms. On really long hills sometimes concentrate on a flat foot strike to really activate the glutes and not put too much strain on my calves.

    I also have no idea what I'm doing.
