Great tips! Running in nature is THE BEST. This time last year I was logging 8-15 mile runs, but I let my habits go and now I'm building back up from 1-2 miles! Heh.
Same, I have the annoying habit of taking the winters off, and having to rebuild every spring. I'm trying to break that cycle, to see how far I can progress. Best wishes!
Thanks for the tips. I have the same kind of shoes and vest as you 👍🏻 Training for my first ultra in May. I did hill repeats yesterday. They are a killer! 😄🏃♂️
Cool video, Chris! What shoes would you recommend for these kind of runs? I have the adidas ultraboost. Regular running shoes too risky? Or do you recommend trail running shoes?
Thanks for commenting. Definitely recommend trail running shoes for the mountain. Their outer soles have the grip you need when it gets slippery. I have used regular running shoes on light trails though.
Great video! Just found your channel. I've always loved trails, but officially gave up roads in 2020 when I trained for my first ultra. I'd rather hit my treadmill than the roads now. Looking forward to more videos!
Thank you for sharing ☺️ it's my first time to join a trail run this coming march 19, 2023 and I'm so excited and a little bit nervous. Hoping i can finish a 13KM run 🙏
I’m trying to figure that out as well. Practicing quick downhills and focusing on technique helps a lot. ( careful on the downhills, you can get injured quickly ) Strengthening your quads in the gym is also good. Hope this helps!
Good stuff! Thanks for sharing your tips. Started trailrunning on my recent vacation in Réunion. And the country is perfect for it! Sadly I live in a flat country (NL), wish to move somewhere where I can make this a weekly routine :)
I’m glad you liked the vid! Yes it’s fun to live close to the mountains if you enjoy outdoor activities! Hope you make it to Austria one day! Thanks for commenting :)
