Define "steep". Typically my trail runs will be in the 600 - 1,200 ft of elevation gain range, depending on how long the run is and where I go. Did one that was a run/hike that was 2,500 of gain and that was kind of awful but felt amazing by the end. A constant mild grade sounds like it would be a great workout and will probably kill your quads. Which is the best, right? NO. At least I don't think they are, I run in hiking shoes or in running shoes depending on the grade and how comfortable I am with traction on the trail.
