Downhill Techniques for Off Road Runners - When running off-road, whether it is fell, trail, cross-country or orienteering you will inevitably come across hills and as the saying goes, what goes up, must come down again. Most runners tend to think that the ability to run well downhill is something that you are born with or is handed to you when you leave the asylum.

Fortunately it is neither. Rather it is a skill that, with correct conditioning and practice, can be prepared for and learnt. Written by one of the North East’s leading off-road coaches, this guide will show you how to prepare physically, the techniques to practice and also how to construct a training programme to improve your downhill running.
