Imagine if there was a way to get a lot faster at trail running and maybe even gain a few race places without having to get much fitter. It probably sounds too good to be true but you've come to the right place.
Yes, we're talking about the skill of downhill running – off-road, over the rocks, through the long grass and into the slippery mud. Unlike uphill trail running, which mainly involves building your fitness to gain speed, when downhill running many pros talk about relaxing, being playful and enjoying yourself, while overtaking less-skilled downhill runners in the process.
