@mr.ultrarunner: Don’t brake with your heel on descents — let the tread do the work! When running downhill, try to avoid hard heel braking. This technique not only puts more stress on your knees but also reduces your control over movement. A softer foot strike allows you to make better use of your shoe’s tread, improves traction, and makes your running more controlled. This is especially important on mud, clay, loose soil, and other slippery trail surfaces. The smoother and shorter your stride on descents, the easier it is to maintain balance and react to changes in terrain. Run downhill smoothly, don’t brake with every step, and let your shoes do the job they were designed for. #trailrunninglife #runningtips #trailrunners #trailrunningtips #ultratrailrunner
