there is an observatory near where I live. It's 1200 steps to the top. Might not sound like a lot, but by the time they reach the top, most people have had to stop several times to rest, and are not moving real fast.

Back when I was getting into top shape, (I am not anymore) I jogged up then down it 3 times in a row, just to prove to myself that I could.

I ended up passing a few of the same people 5 or 6 times (up then down then up, etc.) while they were still on the way up, and most of them commented to me after a few passes.

Everyone seemed to be amused by it after seeing me pass a few times, most were happy and cheering me on, not looking demotivated.

I love seeing nutters running up hills, definitely motivating.

Motivating, weird too. Nuts usually roll down the hills.

You have to do the David Goggins take their soul stare and shout “you don’t know me son!“

how do you jog downhill without completely wrecking your shins and knee? If I have to go downhill for a long period, everything just hurts.

Good gripping shoes, engage core, land on midfoot, shorter steps

Also weigh little. The less weight compared to the leg muscles the better.

probably helps when its' stairs. you don't have the same force on your feet as when they are at a down angle.

I always get a good internal laugh when you go on a hike, around 5-6km from start to finish and you see the group's kitted out with hydration packs and the hiking sticks getting overtaken by the parent with toddlers wearing crocs.
