Meanwhile, gym exercises like plyometrics and agility drills give a way to practice fast footwork.
In that case, dont forget to prepare for downhills, too.
Amanda MacMillan writes at Outside:
Incline treadmill training can also boost cardiovascular conditioning.
Training for uphill portions of trail can be much more easily mimicked through strength-building exercises.

Running down stairs, especially at a fast pace, is also good training for downhills.
