I did an uphill half marathon in norway (1500 meter climb) without ever having run almost any races and I did really well because I had been doing a lot of strength training in the gym (4 times a week) where I do 3x10 sets and very little rest between the sets. I think this gave me the edge because I could do this advanced powerwalk where I ran with very long strides while leaning forwards. Its just a theory tho, but Ive always been a really heavy runner. I ran 3000m in 10 minutes on a track while weighing 95 kg (187cm).
I’m so glad I “stumbled” upon your channel. I’ve been running for 35 years, have degrees in exercise science and physiology and have coached many runners through the years. I always pick up some new tips and ideas from your videos. Keep up the awesome work, Claire!
Great video. I coach hill reps every week during the winter. However, you need to combine with long runs on hilly course to really be good on hills in a race. Even interval training on track is good for short fell races.its basically flat out to top however knackered once there you don't need spare breath to come down. My tip on hills uis get good knee lift and try and flow up the hill. If you try to power and battle it there is only one winner.. the hill!
Awesome content Claire (I keep saying that...) and look you hit all three of the folks I mentioned when you asked a few weeks ago about who I would like to talk to - (Emilie, Max, and Sage) - I am very jealous!
Congrats on your 5k subscribers. Lots of good advice here from some great top level athletes. From my own personal trial and error learning when having to power hike up a really steep bit it's good to get your hands down on your glutes, but at the same time make sure to keep your back nice and straight because being at that angle it's all too easy to hunch up the shoulders and lose that vital lung capacity when you really need it. I've seen lots of advice on power hiking technique, but none of them mention keeping the torso as straight as possible to allow the lungs to fill up.
Bit late coming to this one but a great video. Some fantastic tips as I've been doing quite a lot of hill work in preparation for a full season of Lake District fell races.
Lots of great tips there, thank you! Do you have any tips for downhill running, particularly on gnarly, rocky terrain? I'm a bit of a wimp with that and know it's mostly confidence, but would love to know if there are any little things you can do in training to help.
This is a great video - thank you. Question if I may. I can run all day but if I hit long hard hills my HR goes through the roof - even walking with good posture. What am I doing wrong? 🙏🏼
@@wildgingerruns it's a critique not being mean. There is always room for improvement you can decide to take.it or continue with it. It's your channel you can do whatever you want.

Wow that is excellent training!
Its great that you integrated advice from multiple mountain goats- adds so much to the value of the video. Thank you!!!
I look forward to it!

I have met Claire and coincidentally she lives not far from me. She's absolutely lovely, such a bundle of joy.
I like the "easy grade.... like 11%"! I loooooove hill work!!!
