Picture this........ Take one slightly ageing moose, drop it into a large barrel of A.C.M.E super slick grease, place slightly ageing moose at the top of a large skateboard ramp and give a gentle push, watch the carnage unfold.
That was me this morning after pushing hard downhill and hitting a wet patch of leaves followed instantly by a switchback that i failed to negotiate and went flying, arms and legs all over the place. I think i broke the 10 second 100 meter barrier and almost something else.
So any tips on downhill running? I’m great at going uphill, i can often scalp people much younger than me when the incline is of an upward persuasion, but i just can’t master downhill’s at pace. What should my arm position be? Do i need to increase my stride length?
Should i lean forward? Answers to questions would be most helpful to this slightly ageing moose. Thanks
