Trouble with steep hills

[FunSize]

What helps -
hands on top of the bars
relax upper body, too much movement can tire you out
which method helped me (just got used to it after) = keep your heels down while pedaling
& the biggest one, stay seated

+1!

I remembered another kind of imporrtant mind thing. It never hurts any less, you just get faster. But what's good to know is that your body will keep going if you tell it to. For me its my mind that makes me stop. Kind of along with that is that you shouldn't ride outside of yourself. Its tempting to just rush up the hills but you won't be able to maintain it and it'll make the rest of your ride hard, too.

Today, I went on my usual loop. 3 steep but short hills. Still hurts, my legs were on fire, but I finished them faster than I usually do!
