I've also heard the idea that bears can't run down hills very well. However I've seen video clips of them chasing calf elk down hills and yes, if the calf turns suddenly the bear has trouble matching it. However I have yet to see a single time where it did more than buy the calf a few more seconds of time. That bear will still run you down irregardless. Running is a BAD idea. I have yet to hear a "bear expert" say otherwise to that.
