3 Tips To Help You Embrace Hills
By Jennifer Fink, Moms on the Run coach "Don’t waste the downhill!" This was my mantra for the first five years of my running career. The women I coach through Moms on the Run heard my chant on every downhill. I would proudly proclaim that I could walk up the hill and more than make up the time by burning the downhill. I still love the downhill, and will continue to share and preach my affection for the exhilaration of the ride. But toward the end of last year, my perspective changed. This quote seemed to sum it up perfectly: "Most of us try to avoid hills, but what is so good about that? Think about it. Flat tires, flat hair, flat returns, and the ultimate, flatlining. LIFE HAPPENS ON THE HILLS. They’re an opportunity to prove to yourself that you are stronger than you ever imagined. If you never attempt the ascent, you’ll never know the thrill of swooshing down the other side. Be a hill seeker." (author unknown) Whether it is in life, or on a run, hills don’t go away. They wait for you. So, how can you use them to become stronger and more confident? Here are my tips to help you embrace hills:
