Two days ago, I ran the Wachusett Mountain road race. 3.1 miles up the mountain, then 3.1 miles back down. I'm not really in mountain racing shape but thought it'd be a good workout and help with sprinting. I know downhills are bad for the implant; thankfully, there was a grassy shoulder much of the way down, so I made sure to run on that to alleviate the pounding.
Whoo hoo!!! Awesome!! :) Congrats!
Congrats Arrojo!
Nice one Arrojo.
Wise running coming down too.
Sounds like fun...when is your next track meet?
I don't know why, but I've become so much more comfortable running downhill than uphill.
I was just the opposite prior to surgery.
It's got to be the Hoka's ;D
Heading to NC this weekend for the 70.3 IM.
Forecast 90 degrees a nice 30 degree jump in temp from home.
Excited to see if I have any speed.

Next track meet is in two weeks. Do you run downhill on roads? I always look for the grass or dirt on steep downhills now.
Good luck in NC! Speed in an IM? I guess its all relative.
