🏁Post 3.5k swim ➡️Early morning hill reps + fast downhills 🔥
I love hill reps. They make me feel strong and a total badass ☠️
Running downhill? Its got benefits too 🤩
It's not just about flying down the trails - it actually makes you better at downhill running and helps you build strength ✅ And, it's great for reducing that horrible soreness after a hard run ✅
Believe it or not, running down hills can even make your knees stronger and lower your risk of getting injured. Plus - it can actually make you faster on the flats too 🥳
The best bit? you only need to do it once a week to see results 📈
Your body learns to use muscles more efficiently, so you're not smashing yourself as much and your overall running improves. Win! Win!
💥 Hill reps are so yesterday 🥱 😂 Downhill training is where it's at! 🏃♀️🏃

🎯Add run drills into your training to boost performance and prevent injuries.
Aim to do them 2-3 times a week, either as part of your warm-up or as a separate/stand alone workout. Do 2-3 sets of each drill, with 10-20 repetitions per set.
❌Why Do Run Drills?
➡ To help your body run smoothly and efficiently
➡ Strengthens key muscles and improves balance= reduces injury risk
➡ Better strength, flexibility, and coordination = faster times
➡ Drills encourage good run habits
➡ Regular drills build muscles needed for running
➡ Many drills act as high-intensity workouts, improving heart health and stamina
➡ Drills involve movements that help balance and stability
➡ Quick, explosive drills can make you faster and more agile
