uphill diagonal stride
  • Maintain excellent weight transfer.
  • Assume the same body position relative to the ground as for the diagonal stride.
  • Drive the foot of the striding leg as far uphill as possible on each stride before weighting it.
  • Make sure that the toes and ankle of the leading leg are in front of the knee.
  • As the legs stride through, keep the hips low to the ground.
Make sure that the push leg is still in a straight line with the torso at the end of the push phase.
