Thanks for the tip! Makes a lot of sense now that you bring it to my attention. I’m more of a trail runner than a hiker. So do you have any ideas or insights or heard any feedback as to whether this would be advantageous to use in a trail race setting? Random question and maybe there’s too many variables to make any useful statements but I just thought I’d ask. Thanks again!
I love this question becuase I love trail running too! My last race was a leg of the sinister 7 in Canada:) and as you know trail running uses hiking on the uphill. I think on a very very long trail race and you are worried about your legs lasting for the whole race this could be a valuable technique but if it's a shorter race I would say you would be okay with the fatigue that comes with a faster ascent :) I didn't use it for my last race but I have a client training for a 200 mile rsce and she has practiced this technique :)
Interesting. I have EIB (use an inhaler) and those steep climbs feel exhausting on my leg muscles. I wish I could get more oxygen to them. Gonna give this a try and see if it helps. Any relief would be great.
How is this different, I don’t understand? You’re putting one foot in front of the other and stepping up. This is just common sense, what am I missing?
As opposed to usual walking which uses the momentum of 1 step to the next, the rest step uses a complete 'stop' with a completely straight back leg. the 'step,' instead of a regular swing, is a straightening of the front leg to the new resting position. It feels incredibly different if you try it out. give it a try and let me know how it feels. trying it on stairs really can help you feel the difference.
@@wildrfitness I actually tried this yesterday when hiking a peak and it did seem to make a difference. It wasn't making sense watching your video, but made complete sense actually doing it. It seemed silly that a quick second would be considered a rest. But wow, I was shocked the difference it made. So thank you!
Thank you very much for your sharing , and also the effort of putting subtitles CC
You are so welcome. Thank you for watching!
Smart. Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the tip 😊
You bet!

That's interesting. I never knew, but watching this I realize this is what I actually often do when hiking up a steep slope.
cool!

Would love to know how it goes!

Did you listen to the explanation
Even the name is very obvios.
The "resting step"
Nobody paces like this !
It makes obvious sense.
