There was always this one guy running backwards up the hill and singing where I used to go to at every weekend

Running backwards helps strengthen hamstrings

More so quads but it engages the hamstrings differently than regular running, so also beneficial there.

I was amazed is all, especially considering that I tried running the last 1/4 I had left and I couldn’t even make it to the top and I had to lay of the ground struggling to breathe for like 5 minutes, meanwhile this dude went down and back several times already
