ABOUT THE UPHILL & DOWNHILL RUNNING SKILL
It is an old topic on our forum, but we return again to it because there are people who still suffer from not knowing how to run uphill and downhill. In spite of a seeming simplicity of this topic there is still no clarity about the skill requirement for uphill/downhill running. The purpose of this article to emphasize the most important points in skill improvement for this specific running. The essence of the skill here is the same as in flat running: how to use gravity to our advantage and how to reduce work against gravity. In uphill running there...

TECHNIQUE DRILLS FOR ADVANCE POSE RUNNING

PAIN IN ABS
First of all, I would like to state that pain in low abdominals is a very unusual thing in running, if it is not related to something like flexing the body by lifting your legs or the trunk. I think that pain is the result of some improper movement, which means that a specific muscle group was involved in improper activity, which could have been wrong timing or a response to the request of more activity than they could handle. To continue with this line of logic, we should think of why could the abdominal muscles be involved in any...
