Good advice all that...

... on our hilly Parkrun on Saturday I actually hit someone behind with my elbow while climbing ...and she apologised!

On short, really steep bits I try to get right on my toes so my heels almost don't touch the ground. That wouldn't work for anything much longer than 50 metres or so though.
