If your legs are giving out on climbs before your lungs do then this one's for you. π
I just dropped the replay of our Hill Running Muscle Science webinar inside the classroom, and it's one of the most visual breakdowns I've done.
We went deep on the 6 muscle groups that actually power your uphill running:
πͺ Glutes β your primary engine (and why most runners aren't using them properly)
𦡠Hamstrings β the posterior chain driving every stride
β‘ Calves β the spring system that saves your energy on long climbs
π Hip flexors β what pulls your leg through on steep terrain
π§± Core β the stabilizer that protects your spine when things get hard
π₯ Quads β how to protect your knees on climbs AND descents
Once you understand what each muscle is supposed to be doing, you stop running on autopilot and start running with intent.
πΊ Head to the classroom to watch the replay as it's up now.
Let me know in the comments which muscle group surprised you the most! π
