When going down a hill, lengthen out your strides. This will help you especially if there is an uphill once you hit the bottom of your downhill. This allows you to pick up speed, and doesn't strain your body very much. It also helps, because when you go up a hill your strides become shorter, so if your strides get lengthened out from the downhill, they won't become too short from going uphill.
-Think of this as a way to increase speed with out using up any extra energy. Just let gravity take you!
