What scares you about running? Is it the hills? Is it the uphill motion? Do hills make you tired? THEY SHOULD! You’re fighting gravity, dirt, mud, sometimes, snow, and yes, your biomechanics. If your biomechanics are not close to picture perfect, your uphill running is going to much more difficult than it needs to be. Forefoot striking is the easiest and most natural way to ascend the hills and mountains. Basically you are creating a biomechanics spring with your forefoot, fascia tendon, and right on up to the soleus and calves. Over time, with light springing in place on a slope, you will build up the strength and suppleness that you need for ascending these mountains in front of you. Watch through this uphill running vlog and let me know what questions you have about this uphill technique. I look forward to answering your questions. Lastly, the question of the day is a tough one. We all have battles in our lives that we face really every single day. What uphill battle are you facing right now, in training and or in life?

Love Each Other
I really love downhill running 😉
Me too!
Up!
QD: I think for me personally, my uphill battle would have to be the age at which I began running. I so wish that I had discovered this amazing sport much sooner than I had, at a much lower weight. Thankfully, I reversed one of those variables!
I loved your use of the mic in this vlog Seth, nice work!
Thanks Jason, trying to push the boundaries of the vlog. You’re an inspiration now!
My current uphill battle is dealing with grief. I must admit that a long hiatus from running, about 5 years but lately running has brought some relief. I find that watching your videos every morning on my way to the trail serves as motivation and helps to bring me into focus. Thank you for sharing your life and videos with us. I really appreciate it. I can't wait to get a couple of your shirts and will proudly wear them as a reminder to.... "Seek beauty, work hard and love each other"💕
Thanks for sharing a bit of your story, and we’re all here for you. Working on the t-shirts!
@marifroggy, much love and peace to you.
Up! QOD: having life challenges all at once, the wife keeps on pushing for baby nr4, me wanting to leave it at 3, because we bought a house and I have to get the whole house renovated, family has to move during the works, etc, etc,... don't see how we can combine it. But gotta move forward! On the running side, I love long uphills because it requires you to balance your effort depending on terrain and grade. Powerhiking is part of it, and not a bad solution. Sometimes powerhiking is faster than running. But it's possibly one of the most "visual" means to figure out your fitness level. A certain hill at the beginning of a training block and at the end, the feeling can be sooo much different. And then, look down and see what you've accomplished. And that dessert... Nothing like running downhill 3, 4, 5... miles. And while you do it, don't forget to open your arms, open your arms! Open your arms, feel the freedom, fly down, feel free! Such a great feeling!
Thank you so much lef for this detailed comment, love all of the UPhill thoughts that you have. We got this 🙏🏻
When it comes to shooting and editing; a lot of heart and soul went into that first 4 minutes of this video. Thank You!
Checking out old videos on running uphill. I think uphill is my weakness and there's not even a flat 5k here in the Appalachian Mts. It's nice to hear you talking about your focus on Pikes Peak in 2019, knowing now that you'll win the marathon on 2020 and 21.
Mountain running is dancing in disguise. Great stuff.
Duck pass it is a uphill run that I can’t seem to do good at but next year I am going to use the technique and win
That sounds like a fun race!!
Love the video. I work at uphill running a lot. I have plenty of room for improvement but I love the feeling of going uphill.
Came for the content. Stayed for the great video. Was able to see a bit of how you prepare for runs. We all have our routines. Thanks Seth
I've been injured for the past month. I've gone from running six days a week to zero days but I am walking good distances again. I really hope to be back soon. It's been tough. Another great vlog. Thanks.
Sorry to hear, but that active rest with walking is really smart.
Seth, thank you for sharing these techniques on uphill trail running! Was having knee pain and ankle pain sometimes, after 8 plus miles of vertical and decent.
Applied your recommendations and wallah!!! Felt so good 👍 being able to work the correct muscles - faster too. Thanks a lot, I'll try to spread the word on this channel.
Don't know what you're up to these days, but I wish you success; you're a bolt of energy.
the cadence comes from the 3-axis accelerator, which is inside the watch. It measures movement to every direction.
That’s crazy! Thank you for helping me understand that.
Cheers Seth really appreciate the help with uphill running 🏃♀️👍
On arm swing technique: shorten the pendulum by increasing the bend at the elbow, and come closer to mid-line, heart to collarbone height. You can swing faster this way with the shortened pendulum.This most importantly decreases energy expenditure. Swing from the shoulder with rib cage rotation. Just watch almost all top distance runners, especially the Africans, they have way less than 90° elbow bend. I made this change to my arm carriage/swing. My arms feel so much better and have less fatigue as well as my legs in the longer distances. Oh yeah, and I run much faster! Works well hill climbing too...keep pumping right Seth!?
Thanks so much for the hill running tips! I always wondered about foot placement going uphill, whether I should land all the way down to my heels or not. Very few training videos mention that! I’m definitely going to work on that since I have mostly hilly areas to run. The Seattle area is not flat! I run both road and trails so this will be fun to try. My uphill battle is running more mileage in a hilly area without injury! My family uphill battle, is getting all my kids through college! Yikes! Start saving for your boys now!
I’ve been to Seattle once and it was SO hilly! Starting to pinch those pennies now.
Up! Amazing video! Battling a strained calf muscle and the flu, forced me to take 2 weeks of. Been rehabing ny calf everyday and lifting weights daily, next training block starts end of the month, so now I need to build my mileage back up before it starts. Have a 25km mountain race here in Korea the end of April. I'll het it done, don't want to rush my recovery and cause more harm, so I'm restraining myself from running too much :) Thanks for a great video! Injuries always make me more motivated and grateful to be able bodied, and to have the will to always be better :)
Wonderful comment Etienne, and keep me posted on the injury. Thanks for the comment
Up!! Great video!!! Thanks for the tips!
I’m currently fighting an uphill battle with AP world history to get an A.... it’s a tough course.
In running I’m in a current slump of what I suspect is iron deficiency. I’ve been feeling super fatigued, always take unintentional naps, and consistently can’t hit my splits in workouts whereas I used to be comfortably hitting my splits or below them. Getting a blood test today
Wow Ian, let me know how the iron test goes. I studied history in college, I can help 🙌🏻
My uphill battle is father time at almost 55 coming from the blood and guts high milage and mass intervals of the 1980's . Plus repetitive factory work for years my hip joint in constant pain that can barely move. But, just want to run again without a limp.
Wow Robert, thanks for sharing and that does sound very painful. Were you a speed guy in the 80s?
@@SethJamesDeMoor No, I was a 1600 and 3200 in hs and 10,000 in college. Did hard speed ladders and repeats in hs but ran 3 times a day. College higher milage did things like 20 by 400 repeats sub65. 10 by 1600 repeats sub 5. Did my 200s at 26 to 32 seconds. Ran my overdistance at close to 6
Had the thought what would Pre do? Wish known about the training today might not got burnt out.
Robert, you have the will, you will find a way!
Good luck!
Yea, that’s right, I’m 2 years back in your catalogue Seth, channeling some uphill energy for tomorrow’s run with some new trail shoes on a vertical gain workout, well as much vertical gain as I can get here in flat Saskatchewan. Glad I get to start my days with your vlogs brother.
13 years old! Good quality!!!
Loved the mojo joke!
I count in my head to help the rhythm of my breathing. I also focus a few yards ahead or to the side of the road.
I have been blessed over the years to be relatively injury free. Sure, there have been a few bumps in the road regarding that but an uphill battle right now is definitely the weather here in Manitoba with current temperatures of around -25 degrees Celsius as a daytime high. That does test the resolve to get out there but with smart layering it can be done to run smart and be safe. Temps are on the rise in a few days though. In your words Seth “butter my bread, butter my bread”!
Great tips on uphill running, Seth! It's definitely a skill to acquire, especially if you're coming off a background of mostly flat road running. My uphill battle is creating more running videos for my channel!
Nice! I’ll have to check out your channel.
Up
High school. The worst thing ever.
Thanks for the video you are the best !!!
I will probably use some of the thechniques you mentioned this video thank you !!!!
I love uphill! Because I know sweat downhill is coming up next! 😁 Yeah, it's easy on my joint also~
Hahn Joh ⛰⛰
All the way up!
Cool Seth, found you on Strava and now following.
13 years old lol thats awsome seth, I noticed your Solomon's have a really soft upper, you can see it when you tie it down more than the 4. And great training tips on mountain climbing tips seth. thanks! And I'll get the word out for your Channel, it takes a lot of time to make these Vlogs everyday. I'm battling with this right leg rite now, I'm making a chiropractor appointment, I really think my hip is out of place, and it's causing some of the injuries. I had to take a week off, and it's not helping mentally.
Keep me posted on that leg.
And thank you for helping spread the word, I appreciate that. 13 years!!!
I don't obsess about cadence, but I like reviewing those metrics after the fact to check in stuff on like "Did I keep my ground contact time and thus turnover consistent even towards the end of a run?" or "How was my cadence for these certain paces in my interval workout?" or "Did it slow for those later reps?" This feeds back into my mental check-ins during a run just to remind my self to keep those "FAST FEET!" and "PUMP THOSE ARMS!" I stole that last one from you. 😉
🙌🏻 I like it! Maybe someday I’ll pay more attention. Had no idea a watch could do this.
Loved the video Seth!! Was raining today in South Africa and i was running hills on my long run. Loved the info!
Also may have been one of the original "butter my bread" moments
Great uphill instructions and nice use of the Lav mic!
Was fun to do, trying something new.
@@SethJamesDeMoor I thought the use of the mic added a great new dimension to the video and really aided in your ability to demonstrate and explain what you were doing.
Got my first trail running shoe for Christmas this year! Looking forward to some fun runs in 2019.
Enjoy!!!
have a cross country tomorrow, not sure whether there are any hills but if there are, will think about your tips, thanks
Excellent keep me posted
Up! My uphill battle if you can really call it that is starting to transition as high school ends and I go off to college next year, still have some time but things are changing mentally. I wont be running most likely for the team but I will be running for sure... We will see where things go!
Nice man, that’s one of the most exciting moments in life, embrace it.
Love your tips.on the snowy trail.....and this is Aunt ann using Christina’s google.....Love your outer wear. Great vlog as always. Hey Seth, longevity runs int he family....I have a pair of sweat pants that I ran in when I was at UNC....still fit...yes!~
Cool man!!!! Love the drone shots! It is a beautiful place you are running in. Please show what gimbel you are using. Are you using a phone or go pro to record your outdoor running? Keep up the good work man! High 5 to you from the blind runner in South Africa.
lol my major was history when i was in college. Thanks for the uphill running tips
👍🏻
Good advices for trail runners. Very well explained. Congratulations.
É sensacional seus vídeos, parabéns!
I love hills. To be honest I had the video playing in the background and was half listening. Then I heard you say third at pikes peak and I went back and started video over. Pikes peak is on my bucket list but the elevation looks brutal
Gotta come over and run it, you definitely could race PP!
Thanks for your video and sharing proper form and other tips. On September 8th, I have my first trail 50K.
Awesome Gina, be sure to let me know how it goes for you. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the tips! Going to put them to use at the Horsetooth Half. Hills are not a huge strength of mine but I love that race anyway. QOD My uphill battle is deciding which and when to run my first marathon. I’d planned on Colfax but I love that half so much and the BB10k a weekish after that the thought of “missing out” on those for the marathon is a bummer. Entered the NYC lottery and that race really excites me so I think if I don’t get into it I will have to re-evaluate for another race that excites me. And I think taking advantage of living at altitude by doing a sea level first marathon may be wiser.
Kalie S NYC!!! Marathon at elevation is tough. Keep me posted. Answering your email tonight.
Seth James DeMoor I’ll let you know what I decide! There’s definitely an advantage to living at 6,000+ feet and going lower. I see it every year when I visit family in NY and go for a run. There’s an October marathon called the Mohawk Hudson there that I’m really interested in if I’m not lucky enough for NYC.
Found out you're from BV which makes me an even bigger fan! Grew up visiting family there and it is one of my favorite places in the world.
Nice work again. Watching slowed me down getting out the door for my daily run. Will be wearing my OR cap with neck/face sun shade. Similar to the Salomon cap with sun shield, plus extra spf 50 on my face. Great VLOG!!
Smart Edward and thanks for watching
Very careful now. Just recently had a nasty basal cell carcinoma removed from the right side of my face right in the middle of a 10 week training program for a 10 miler. Had internal and external stitches. Doc made me take two weeks off, no running, cross training or weight training. Then had another small squamous cell removed from upper arm. Always protected now and reapply sunscreen often.
Good stuff thanks
For cadence you need anywhere from 90-95 steps on a side on average in a minute Your watch sill probably say 180, both sides on a minute
I still have some old Bill Rodgers brand tank tops that I use. 18 year old shirts!! LOL

High Quality Gear on a Budget
I admit it. I’m cheap. It puts me into cardiac arrest to see a pair of shorts with 50 grams of nylon in them for $100! I’ve been known to frequent races based on the ratio of entry fee to technical tee-shirt value. You know I love those free-shoe races. If I can pick up a nylon hat or a good pair of gloves while running the local 10k, I’m in! I’ve been known to hand-sew my ratty tights prior to races and tie-die my racing shirts to hide the stains. That’s why this BR Sportswear sale is such a great opportunity. I could equip my whole club with hats for the price of a pair of shoes. Look at your closet and see what holes you can fill for the next season or so!
One of the things I like about running is that it’s relatively inexpensive. You just strap on your shoes and go. There are no pads, sticks, balls to buy and no fields, rinks, or facilities to rent. You don’t need technical clothing, but even a cheapskate like me appreciates the value of technical clothes. Trust me; the downside in discomfort and painful rashes is an overwhelming motivator to get out of those cotton sweat pants and into some quality performance gear.
The value of technical gear
After years of running my collection is still a mishmash, but it is 100% technical from the socks to the balaclava - and I love it. Yes, I even have technical underwear and I’ll run the next race that has the courage to give out Coolmax briefs!
Technical fabric doesn’t hold the sweat, it wicks it away from your body. This way you won’t get chaffing and chilling on your runs. The technical stuff dries much faster and lasts for a long time. In the summer it keeps you cooler and in the winter it makes a great base layer - keeping you dry and cutting the wind, protecting your sensitive points.
I travel frequently on business and the technical stuff is a big help. It doesn’t take up any room and its light. I can stuff socks, shirt and shorts into one of my shoes. It dries quickly so that I don’t have to pack wet stuff from my morning run or wear wet stuff the next day.
I know it’s hot and steamy today, but winter is right around the corner. At 50% off you save the most on big-ticket items like running suits and pullovers. Think ahead, it will be frosty before you know it and you’ll be wishing you had taken advantage of the savings now, when available.
BR Sportswear is giving away a knit hat with each order, and you can never have enough fuzzy hats when the wind begins to howl in New England.

Now’s the time to equip your team and your kids.
Does your club need racing singlets? Buy a crate of them from BR Sportswear and save your dues for more beer after the next club run. Does your event need promotional, prize or giveaway material? Buy a few boxes and let the savings go to the bottom line. It’s a win-win situation. You can stock up now at an incredible discount and have them silk-screened when you need them. Here’s your chance to be a big hero at the next club meeting when you show how you only spent half the budget.
Since I have been converted to the technical gear bandwagon I have also realized that there is a huge applicability to youth sports of all kinds. I tell my kids (when I’m coaching soccer) to put on a synthetic base layer. This is a great opportunity for you folks with little (or not so little) kids to get them some good performance clothing.
I speak from personal experience. I bought my 12-year old a plain long-sleeve Coolmax shirt and she wears it at every soccer, softball, and field hockey game. She loves it, especially when it is rainy or cold. Take a look at the gaiters and wrist-overs for those cold fall days at the field. At these prices you can equip your whole team.
Holidays are only five months away. You could check off some boxes here and save some dough on the nieces and nephews. Spread the technical love. You can wax rhapsodic about the merits of technical clothing and then segue right into your favorite marathon story over holiday dinner.
I have a Frank Shorter Goretex jacket...it's immortal...15 years and counting, hardly any wear!
Great technical tips in the this video. Thanks!
Haha awesome video mate !
Right now have a really bad chest cold and I can't run or go to work really frustrated just have to stay positive. Seth quick question, do you ever run Pikes Peak trail in the winter time? Run on
I have not yet Daniel, but I plan to this year! Rest up
Deer Creek!! 😃😃😃
I like how you are doing the Pikes peak assent and then the marathon. I think that will transition well was that part of your strategy? Also liked the skipping or hopping drills you were doing. I started doing those in my living room. It is kind of a work out if you do them for a while.
They really are a workout. Sorry if I misspoke, but I’m just doing the Ascent.
I do struggle with hills. My heart rate spikes and my pace slows down drastically. I don't know what to do to become bettee at it, just do more? I have to say that it is rare when I do hills because I simply don't have them nearby. But is that the key? Just do more or can I do a workout to help me improve?
ejquezad consistency such as once a week on small hills would be a great place to start.
Amazing video- great content, great videography, great editing! I think you and Jamison Michael are the best in terms of those 3 parameters...keep it up! As for cadence, I have a video that explains how motion sensors work with regards to running power meters, but the discussion applies to watches & smartphones too. In a nutshell, along with some algorithms, the accelerometer+gyroscope in the watch can compute when you’ve come to the end of your arm swing...and your arm cadence matches your leg cadence.
Crazy technology! Thank you for taking the time to explain.
I got two Raidlight backpacks recently: Ultra Olmo 12 and Trail XP4. They look very good, but I'm a bit disappointed. Heavy, yeah. Almost twice as heavy as my other backpacks. And I don't really understand why they attach the waist belt not to the straps, but to pockets on the straps. The straps get crammed under the belt.
My favorite backpacks are made by Terra Nova. Lightweight, spacious and very comfortable. And yours?
Terra Nova?? I’ve never heard of them. I agree that Raidlight is heavy, I like my vest but I’m interested in others as well, maybe Terra Nova!
Seth James DeMoor They don't make vests: www.terra-nova.co.uk/packs-rucksacks-poles/lightweight-packs-rucksacks/ Trailrunners may miss bottle pockets on straps, but for run commuters they are perfect.
Hi seth💪 Give some advice as a new trail runner what would you advice for me on uphill training and downhill?
nice
after watching your videos for a while I have just realised i wasnt subscibed, so new subscriber i guess? hahahaha
Welcome officially!
I just signed up for a 7 mile up hill race and I start training today does heel to toe offset matter?
What is your suggestion to go uphill when you just cannot run any longer in a very steep pathway? Thks in advance
Great video! 👍🏻 Which model are these Salomon?
Do you have to run it twice in order to record it? hahaha How do you do it? I mean to place the cameras at the end of the way?
Danilo Irwing I always think about this
It’s a combo of different filming techniques, I will make a vlog just about this.
how often do you recommend hills? once a week? in general i understand it depends on experience race goal or type race
Every day
Congratulations Seth , your videos are amazing, I enjoy all of them.
I like your passion for trail running...¡¡
I would like you to make a video that compares the performance of all these shoes : Salomon snow cross 2 Goretex; Salomon S Lab X Alpine 2 Goretex; La Sportiva Aequilibrium Top GTX; Dynafit Sky Pro.
Which of them is the lightest and which of them has better resistance to water ?
I have entered for a 65k mountain race - with some serious up hills. Pretty rough terrain. I really suck at running uphill and also the altitude normally gets me. I think I have a mental block due to a DNF on a similar route. How do you overcome that. I do hill training in my program and try to include hilly terrain where ever I can but I get to a massive hill and feel like crying. Basically have hill anxiety I think :)
BTW great video
Uphill: On man, increasing mileage patiently is tough. But that's minor. My real uphill battle is finishing my dissertation and finding the motivation to consistently produce everyday even with no manager or hard deadlines. How do you all stay motivated?
The end goal always helps me, but that’s an easy answer. Will think more on this.
Love this😍
Do you use poles in the races or your training?
Great video ....but lengthy
Sir 500 mtr plane then 200 mitre hill ..how can we practice in this situation. ..
QD: an uphill battle is stress fracture in the femur when I had a race coming up, so I can’t race
Hello Seth. You mentioned your drone at the end. Can you give us a glimp at what it looks like? What model is it?
DJI Spark. I was briefly sliding it into the backpack around the 1 minute mark, May have been a little hard to see though.
Qod: my uphill battle every time I seem to reach my peak I injure myself and set myself back
What was your most recent injury?
@@SethJamesDeMoor hip bursitis
Yes, Running all the way up all the time, but when my cup visor does not let me see the top of the hill, that is the time to start walking.
Seth when are you going to run the Pikes Peak FULL Marathon!?
When I’m old and slow ; )
Maybe in 2-4 years, I just know that if I race it the knees will bark at me, trying to save that downhill speed for some other races like CCC. It’s tempting trust me. I’ve got unfinished business in the Ascent ⛰⛰
Unfinished business...Hoo Yah!!!
I hear you about barking knees. There's a trail race in Vernon NJ called Running with The Devil, 3, 6,12 hour, you choose the time to run up & down the Diablo Mtn Bike/Ski trail full loop or half loop as many times as you can until time is up. I can't do it because my old knees would not just bark on the descents...they would curse me then make me pay a hefty price 😉
Hey Seth. Does your heel touch the ground while climbing? I did an 8 mile run this week and climbed about 1200ft. My calfs are very sore.
What to do if your calves burn soo bad
Hey Seth, when I use Strava I noticed they give a GAP(Grade adjusted pace) value for uphill running and was curious if you notice this or use it. If so, how much merit do you give their GAP values as I'm not sure if they take into account altitude, technicality ect.
I do not look at that stat but will now research further, thanks for the heads up
Where in Colorado do you live? I was looking for a good mountain town to live in that isn't too expensive... Telluride or Durango? Shoot me some suggestions please.
Steve
Cool audio, talking pace
Medina used to tell me to "think springy" on Mags... you and Medina are the two best I've ever seen on the hills
