About this episode
If you are experiencing knee discomfort or instability when running downhill or going down the stairs, you may need to strengthen your quads. Your glutes are also important, but your eccentric quad strength plays a big role in knee stability, especially when going down a decline.
In this episode, we will walk through why it's important to address your eccentric quad strength, ways to do so, and how you can modify your workouts if you are injured.
