Which is harder, running uphill or running downhill?

I have done the Salt Lake City, Utah marathon and it has a huge chunk of descending. I think circa 5000 feet vertical the route of the year I doran it.

I was surprised how much my quads hurt from catching myself on every downhill step.

I suppose if you trained for it, it would not be so bad.

But which is actually harder? Uphill or downhill?
