Huh... Never thought I'd been taking running/coordination advice from Jack Daniels
I miss the advice that every deciliter of Jack Daniels will slow my mile pace by about 30s. 🙂
Thank you for your tips. Very useable & clear.
I train solo, so having workable advice is helpful. I'm trying to add more hills in my runs, and trying to do it with better technique. Thee are just the tips I needed. Much appreciated.
Awesome! So glad to hear this. We'll try to keep providing this type of advice in future videos. Hope you these tips help you on the next run :)
Thanks a lot for this great comprehensive overview!
Intentionally driving the arms backwards helps so much. I find it totally unintuitive as opposed to, e.g., not leaning forward. But it works like a charm and is so easy to do
I LOVE RUNNING 🏃♂️ UPHILL...I do 3x a week 1 hour
God loves you. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”. Jesus Christ died for you so you could be saved from hell and live in heaven with Him after you die, and all you have to do is put your faith in Christ. Repent of all of your sins, and be cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ. Believe in the Lord God Jesus Christ, and your name will be written in heaven! May the Lord richly bless you.😊
Something to note is that keeping the hands high moves weight backwards keeping you tall
My running spot has 2 big hills and I run 4 miles in 32:49 with the hills
This is the best advice I’ve ever heard ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I am now subscribed
Really good video with some useful tips. I'm certainly guilty of leaning into my uphill runs so will be focusing on running tall from now on!
I run trails and hill which often have quite steep hills and leaning into a hill can be very effective way to go up hills faster. It does require a good core to take advantage of the gravity effect which leaning into a hill can proivide
Thanks for a great video! Question: When running up hill there is a tendency to want to run on the toes. Ive seen some videos say this is a bad idea as it puts to much stress on the calves. Others say, it's better to run on the toes. What do you think?
I mean, by default you'll be forced to run on your toes more, especially the steeper the incline. So, in short, yes, you should be running on your toes, but don't exaggerate it and be hoping on your toes.
Exceptionally good instruction. I'm trying Ethan Newberry's virtual Tiger Claw today, aiming for a few thousand feet of vert so this will really help.
Thank god. A video to the point, concise, and not wasting time. Thank you
Thank you for sharing. Can you share something on Shin splint
Is the runner footage from Snow Bowl road by any chance?? the cruddy tarmac and aspens look very familiar!
Haha, this was indeed filmed on Snow Bowl road! Did you used to live in Flag?
3:24 doesn't look so good tbh! kinda unstable / not really good range of motion, lot of compensation going on…
Haha, could have been especially sore that day or had some specially tight hip flexors. 🤷🏼♂️
Keep your core taught and "zipped up"
Very informative thank you
No problem, Mel!
Good stuff. Thank you
How about a course like crystal springs where the end is on a slight hill would a long stride be applicable there?
thank you for this. i notice i huntch over going up hill and it does make it so difficult. i will try standing more straight next time
Uphill running 🏃♂️ is makes you more strong 💪
Word!
The runner that was shown running up the hill looked very tight as his legs never extended (they looked always bent - even at the most extended phase of the stride). Thanks for the advice.
I think he was recovering from a hard workout that day, haha. He's a decorated trail and ultra runner - ranked 10th in the world the road 50k in 2019!
Keep up with the good work 😃

Hmm..leaning into a hill, especially a steep hill can give an advantage to a runner who is accustomed to doing this, who has a strong core and has trained enough to be able to breathe adequately. The reason for leaning into the hill is to allow gravity to aid the runner - it works well on steep hill and may be more applicable to trail/hill running where runners may typically be running on steep inclines or hills. This technique can allow a runner to make up ground on runners ahead of them.
Stand tall, let heels touch the ground.. ive been doing the opposite forever, leaning in and balls of feet.. gonna try to stick with your way from now on!
Super helpful video. I’m a personal trainer but by no means a running expert so I searched good general running cues to help out clients. Everything so clearly explained and love the recap at the end. Thank you!
Great video, deserves more views
What else do you focus on when running uphill? #runnersconnect
1. Stay mentally focused, don't worry about what others are doing.
2. Use your arm swing to "pull" yourself forward
3. Maintain proper posture even when fatigued. Slow down if necessary. Bad posture = breaking force = more fatigue
@@AT-zr9tv Those are great ones as well that tie into what we covered in the video. Thanks!!
On what page does he says that? (I want to mark it for future reference :)

Racing a XC this Saturday - thanks Coach Ruairi
Great video! Thank you!
My calves get so tight and attribute to my back pain with all the inclined roads. I'm from Nebraska where everything is flat and California is so not flat. Anybody have any solutions?
Run it more often and maybe shorter distances. If running is too much walk those hills a lot so you can build a baseline.
Liked and Subscribed.
Thanks for the tips. Appreciate your work
thank you for the tips
Is grass better to run on
3:23 thats what I did, and I put my knees high enough that I could toutch them with my hands at a 90° angle
How do you avoid lower back pain when walking up a hill?
Building up a good core - I used to suffer from lower back problems periodically but building up my core for hill running has helped a great deal - my preferred events are mountain marathons which can invole go upwards for an hour and some two hours so a good back is required because of so much leaning forward
I run uphill using short step
I think this is OK as long as you're still getting your knees up, driving your arms, up on your toes, all that.
You don't really want to have huge strides because you'll just get exhausted trying to do that uphill. So makes sense to shorten a bit 👊

@@runnersconnect hello coach, nice to meet you🙌..
As George sheehan once said you are an experiment of one. This one finds leaning into a hill and not looking up to be what suits him the best.
My only question is: You explained to move your knees *upward/forward"". I read that put too much strain on your hip flexors, which in turn use up too much oxygen. All movements of the legs are supposed to be "backwards". Any thoughts?
Good point, Eric! As we mentioned there are 4 reasons that running tall rather than leaning into the hill give back more to your hip flexors and promotes backwards movement. So hopefully that would counter the fatigue that may occur from the upward/forward motion of the knee drive. If you note, we did suggest a knee drive that is MORE like a sprinter, but not necessarily as exaggerated as a sprinter. Does this help?
This is great advice
Thanks!
Thanks sir
