Please help settle a long running (pun intended) argument with DH

So, DH and I are hill runners, and have an ongoing debate about weight advantage. He's convinced he's at a disadvantage running up hill as he's taller and therefore heavier. My argument is that he might be taller/heavier, but he has more muscle to counteract that, so we're even Stevens.

We are both relatively slim by the way... Kind of similar athletic builds (with male/female differences, obv) but I'm 5'6" and he's 6".

YANBU: I don't have an advantage running uphill because I'm smaller/lighter, and if he wants to beat me he should just try harder 😜

YABU: Poor tall DH is disadvantaged and I should give him a headstart.

It's all about the power to weight ratio when going uphill.

More power = good.
Less weight = good.
