If I'm running on tarmac I find running downhill surprisingly difficult - think its the impact and the lack of obstacles, get me offroad though and I love it and fly downhill like an idiot jumping over stuff and arms flailing, on one of my trail races I flew past almost everyone on the downhill enough that only two people caught up with me on the flat where I slowed right down, I put it down to my MTBing background. I'm doing a lot more road hills now so hopefully that will improve. Talking of hills did just over 5 miles with the club last night on a good route with a mixture of hills, some long and gradual some short and steep I really enjoyed it. It actually stopped raining last night and it was a good night for running. The wind has also died today so I'm heading out at lunchtime for whatever I feel like doing also breaking out the Noo Shoooes.
