Run4FunRun4Life Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 So, I have completed week 2 day 1. But where I run is practically all hills. I don't like running on treadmills and I like where I run. I realize that running up hill is probably better for you when it comes to running. I used to run more often but I hurt my knee so I had to take a break. the hills always seem to make my muscles scream. I don't wanna change my running place or anything(because there's points where it's goes straight down. That's fun.) but I would like to see if anyone has any uphill running tips. Maybe something to make it a little easier to endure? Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Hi There R4FR4L, Welcome here, I have lived in the mountains of Utah and now Nevada, high altitude at the moment at 5800 feet.... I am so used to running uphill, sometimes.... LOL I walk/run them. I will Go up backwards, sideways, do drills, etc..... I do find it hard on my knees so I will do variations of that all the time, you should see my driveway, OH BOY, it is at a huge angle... High altitude for you? I now love to run at sea level, and man can I go! YAY! Happy Running!! Oh yeah, I love to climb my mountains too!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Run4FunRun4Life Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Thanks for the tips:) it's really rough on my knees sometimes. Always had bad knees. I'm not really close to mountains(about 4-5 hours away from the Appalachians) but where I'm at there's always lots of hills everywhere I go. I love it! I am going to the mountains in the summer and plan to run there. And if I am able to keep up with pace of the running schedule I might be up to a 10k run by then:) (fingers crossed...)
