    Definitely short quick steps and make sure you place your feet well, try doing some reps up and down a well known fell thinking carefully about it. Then just do lots of practice, also cycling is good for uphill muscles.

    Strong legs, strong lungs, but remember to keep a bit in the tank for the downhill.
