Trail Running

How to do it

Begin at an easy jogging pace on natural terrain, scanning the path ahead for changes in surface and grade.
Shorten the stride slightly on uneven ground to keep the foot landing stable beneath the hips.
Drive the knees and extend the hips on climbs, loading the quadriceps and biceps femoris more heavily than on flat ground.
Push off actively through the calves on ascents and let the stride lengthen on descents while staying controlled.
Breathe in a relaxed, deep rhythm that adjusts naturally as the grade changes through the run.
Keep the eyes up and the cadence steady on descents rather than overstriding, a common fault that leads to unstable footing.
