Why does hill running hurt so much? In part, because it takes more work. You have to recruit more muscle fibres to get yourself up the hill, which causes those muscles to fatigue faster. Plus, when you’re running on an incline, there’s a shorter distance for your foot to fall before it hits the ground. That translates into less of an energy boost from the tendons, which you normally get when running on a flat surface.
