Start working on those downhills and make sure that once you get ahead by being a strong hill runner then you can keep your placement and not let anyone pass you on the downhill. What worked for me was to completely thrash my quads on the downhills week after week until they became conditioned for the pounding. Also, have no fear of complete wipeout. <BR/><BR/>Sounds like fun nonetheless. I know you didn't really mean those nasty thoughts about the trail and you sucking.robtherunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05066981363064781863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19138585.post-68674684863308581782007-05-14T19:38:00.000-07:002007-05-14T19:38:00.000-07:00Yes, get the foot looked at.

There is just too much downhill at the course for the last several miles. I will be sending you good thoughts, buddy.

Running fast down hill really pounds away on your quads. Since I am unwilling to work on strength training, I'm always getting passed on the down hills.<BR/><BR/>Great race report.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04350841837453498786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19138585.post-87891119071847055132007-05-13T21:34:00.000-07:002007-05-13T21:34:00.000-07:00Darrell,Glad to hear you are going to see a doc fo...Darrell,<BR/>Glad to hear you are going to see a doc for the foot!!
