But downhills can result in some of the worst next-day soreness if you havent trained for them.
Thats because downhill running uses eccentric muscle contractionsyoure using your muscles to lower yourself down the hill.
Good form on the downhills helps, too: stay upright, and keep your feet moving fast.
This sounds scary at first, but is actually easier on your body.
