Chris, Run more and Run DOWNHILL more. Your muscles will produce protective muscle enzymes, specific downhill muscle sub groups will develop. Along with that capillaries, motor neurons etc. More of them will be specific to downhill running. Massive aerobic development closer to your top end such as 80-85% mhr especially for large portions of your longer runs but not all has been key for me. You will develop your glycolytic system. The more steady state aerobic development you have the faster your recovery rate will be I have found. Your running economy and technique will become more efficient which will in turn incur less damage during downhill races.

Thanks Steve. I intentionally haven't inflated my mileage since Boston in prep for Ogden to give myself a little bit of a "break" physically on mentally. You are definitely right on the downhill running though--I need to get more of that in before St. George. Any route suggestions aside from Emigration and Millcreek Canyons?

From Sasha Pachev on Fri, May 25, 2007 at 12:27:50

In your area I do not think you can beat Emigration. You may want to go a bit further sometimes and hit the East Canyon as well. That would give you 20+ if you start at the zoo.
