I have found it is far less traumatizing for me to refrain from looking directly down into the big slippery mud I am about to run through and instead look across it to where I WANT to be. As long as it's not "too" big, I find this is a much more effective way to go through them, without stalling, or slipping for that matter.
Been practicing running down hills in a relaxed manner, with little push back. I do a little chant when I run down them: "Trust the natural spring" -which is code for convincing myself that the natural spring in my legs will keep me from falling onto my face, provided I relax. It seems to be working because not only am I going down hills faster, but I am also not feeling any bruising in my shins.
