Improving your downhill running will not only make you faster on race day, but will also reduce energy expenditure and aid recovery.

At any stage in a race, the more technical the terrain, the bigger the time difference between competitors' descending pace. Here is your chance to make up time!

Join us on the trail for a practical descending-skills session to improve your form and develop techniques for downhill running on different gradients and varied terrain. This workshop also incorporates a targeted strength and conditioning program (which you can take away with you), covering coordination drills, balance work and advice on proprioceptive training to help prevent injury and prepare your body for efficient and confident descending.
