Technical Descent
Otter record-holder TONI MCCANN knows a thing or two about descending. This young ASICS athlete has some sound advice for your next downhill.
The one thing I learned racing post-injury, where my preparation included many hours on a Wattbike in a gym, is that running downhill requires training.

It was so bad I couldn’t sit down without help.
But how do you prepare yourself to become the downhill runner you’ve always wanted to
