TIPS TO RUNNING UPHILL by Mr.Bonifacio Calubad(April 13,2011) If running uphill is the part where you fall behind, running uphill requires a slightly different form than standard running. Knowing the technique, it could be an advantage. Attack the bottom and the top of the hill. Get some speed before the hill. Spending energy while running up will be progressively easier as you top the hill. Some runners will be exhausted and slow down as the hill ends and this will be a big advantage for you to leave them. Make shorter and more frequent strides. If you run with bigger strides, then it will be hard for you to reach the top. The muscles will be stretched too much and might develop a leg cramp. Keep your pace with a shorter stride and more frequent footfalls that helps keep your face up and your legs will not tire out. 1. Tilt forward slightly. By keeping your center of gravity over your feet, you will make it easier to keep up your speed when you are running uphill. 2. Adjust your arm swings to make shorter and more forceful swings. Since you are shortening your strides, you need to shorten your arm swings to match. By making your arm swings more forceful you will help propel your body up the hill. 3. Lower your head. You can also look straight ahead, but not up the hill. You can steal a glance every now and then to see how far you have to go, but you want your head down so that your back is straight and your body in sync as you run uphill. 　 ------------------ The Online Application of Great Wall of China Marathon 2011: http://www.greatwallmarathon.com.cn/application2011.htm                        ---The Previous News--- Please Contact for the details:                 greatwallmarathon@yahoo.com greatwallmarathon_japan@yahoo.co.jp                 market@beijingglobalmarathon.com Our Official websites in Beijing:                                                                  http://www.greatwallmarathon.com.cn/                                       http://www.beijingglobalmarathon.com/greatwallmarathon/jp/index.html Our supporting website in  Tokyo Japan                                    http://www.greatwallmarathon.jp/
