An All New Training Page
We are excited to announce our all new Training and Online Coaching pages.
The new Training page contains valuable insight about downhill training, including tips on downhill form and how to correct common downhill running mistakes, and suggestions for frequency, duration, and intensity of downhill workouts.
The REVEL Online Coaching Program includes workouts specifically designed to prepare runners of all experience levels for REVEL's downhill courses. With specific hill workouts every month, including periodic downhill repeats as part of a weekly long run, the Online Coaching Program is designed for downhill. The program contains weekly notes, videos, and detailed instructions for every workout. With a built in training pace tool, the coached program will help you find your proper "downhill pace" for workouts and racing.
These new resources are sure to help you get that PR or BQ on our amazingly FAST and BEAUTIFUL downhill races.

Training Tip: Downhill Prep Should Include Uphill Work
As you train for REVEL’s remarkably fast courses, your downhill workouts should include some level of uphill work too. The idea is to get used to running fast downhill on tired legs. The uphill climbing of the workout should put some stress on your legs, but don’t overdo it -- the uphill part isn’t the focus, so don’t go too hard while climbing. Instead, maintain a steady, even effort as you climb, and then work hard on your downhill form and speed as you descend.
