Words by Taylor Thomas at\u00a0Thomas Endurance Coaching<\/a><\/p>\n

Most every runner has had the following experience: You\u2019ve been running through neighborhoods and town paths and feeling great. Then you branch out to more technical terrain that involves climbing, descending, and managing your footing and you realize that this is a much different experience than the town runs you\u2019ve been knocking out. That\u2019s because there\u2019s a physicality to running on more challenging terrain that\u2019s often overlooked. The type of terrain plays a large role in the type of training, your level of fitness, and your overall approach.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Climbing<\/h2>\n
\n

Climbing is one of the most obvious areas that differentiates an \u201ceasy run\u201d from one that\u2019s more challenging. Anytime you begin to go uphill, it\u2019s going to be harder. First and foremost it\u2019s important to adjust your expectations. Odds are you won\u2019t be able to go as fast as you’re used to, your stride will be shorter, your perceived exertion will be higher, and your legs will burn. That\u2019s okay. If you know that going into a climb you\u2019ll be better able to adapt. Try to maintain your form as best as you can. Don\u2019t slouch and fall into the trap of a \u201cchoppy\u201d stride. Remember to keep your upper body tall, arms swinging through, and a comfortable cadence\/footfall<\/a>. If you\u2019re going to be climbing for a while you might also consider climbing poles. These are popular in the ultra running world, and can dramatically improve efficiency and form on long climbs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Descending<\/h2>\n
\n

What goes up must come down. So often we get lured into the trap of thinking that the downhills are \u201cfree miles\u201d. Anyone who\u2019s done a long descent knows that this is not the case. There\u2019s just as much skill involved in descending as there is climbing. The muscular demands of descending are often what get runners into trouble in big mountain runs. Try not to put on the brakes too much. The impact that comes from trying to slow yourself down can wreak havoc on your knees, quads, and hamstrings. This wear and tear can cause all sorts of negative impacts as the run continues. Also, it\u2019s important to look ahead and read the terrain. Try not to look down at your feet, but rather run tall and look ahead. This will help you respond more fluidly to technical terrain, and allow you to open up your stride and gain speed. The more fluidly you can descend the better you\u2019ll feel on longer more technical runs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Strength Maintenance<\/h2>\n
\n

There\u2019s a physicality to running technical terrain that\u2019s over and above the normal demands of running. Climbing, descending, and managing your footfall in technical terrain takes its toll on the body. It\u2019s important to be strong and athletic outside of running to ensure that your body can handle the wear and tear. It\u2019s a good idea to maintain a consistent strength and conditioning routine while you\u2019re focusing on run training. Exercises like lunges, step-ups<\/span>, squats, and deadlifts are great go-to\u2019s to ensure the lower body is strong and resilient. Don\u2019t forget about your upper body either. A strong core, shoulders, and back facilitate good running form when things get challenging. Running in technical terrain is about being ready for anything. That means constantly working to build a strong body both from a muscular and aerobic perspective.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Recovery<\/h2>\n
\n

If you\u2019ve completed a technical run you know that the hours and days that follow can leave you feeling pretty tender. This type of running puts the body through a lot, and it\u2019s normal to expect a fair amount of muscle damage, resulting in soreness, inflammation, and tightness. As the adage goes, \u201crecover harder than you train\u201d. Nutrition is one important aspect. Be sure to hydrate during and after your run with an electrolyte mixture that provides sodium to replace what\u2019s lost in your sweat. Next focus on carbohydrates and protein to restore glycogen levels, and send vital amino acids to damaged muscles. You should also employ <\/span>mobility work<\/span> like stretching, foam rolling, and trigger point movements to stimulate blood flow and smooth damaged fascia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Pushing your body in challenging terrain can be one of the most rewarding parts of being a runner. However, it should not be taken lightly or seen as the same type of running that you might perform around your neighborhood. Typically climbing and descending are what make these types of runs so dynamic. Make sure you prepare for them mentally and physically before tackling technical running. Once the run is complete recover like a pro with proper nutrition and mobility techniques. Now you\u2019re ready to push it even harder when things get technical!<\/p>\n
