In triathlon training and racing, you’ll almost certainly be faced with an incline or decline at some point on the run. Running downhill at speed is a skill and if you can carry confidence into your racing, it’s a great way to make up some time or even put in an attack on your competitors.

Including hill reps into your running programme is common. The focus is usually on the uphill efforts, but it’s also worth spending a bit of time concentrating on improving your downhill running. Be mindful of this skill, and practise running at different speeds on different descents within a variety of sessions to master it.
The key things to think about, and then practise, when running downhill include:
Your posture
Your foot placement
Your cadence and contact time with the ground
Using your arms for balance
Where to look ahead
When developing your skills running downhill, it is important to start slowly and build up as you become more confident in your ability.
