Hello,
In this sentence: I am good at running uphill. I don’t understand why “at” is a place preposition and not a movement preposition.

Hi!
In the sentence “I am good at running uphill”, “at” is part of the expression “good at.”
So, “at” doesn’t describe a place or movement here.
It just connects the adjective good to the activity!
A movement preposition usually shows direction or motion toward something. For example, ''run to the store''.
Good at is a common adjective–preposition combination.
