Relax to Climb Strong

Relax to create the maximum power for running hills. Most runners tend to apply more power and run the hills harder. However, harder in some runners' minds translates to tenser bodies. Instead, try relaxing your shoulders, arms, and face as you glide up the trail; notice the difference. There's no need to get tough to run hills. You need power, but it is a fluid, controlled, relaxed power rather than tense power.
