I definitely agree with your point about slowing down and enjoying the view from time to time. I've discovered so many wonderful trails around where I live (Helsinki) as a result of not focusing on pace or distance. Running can be so much fun if you take the pressure off yourself.

@SarahPlace 4 года назад

definitely! would love to visit finland one day, there is a race called nuts yllas pallas which looks incredible!

More reasons trail runs in the forest are great include, when running within the forest, the trees are pumping out oxygen, not CO2 as happens adjacent to motorways, so it's better for your lungs, your brain, and your whole body, everything that is dependent upon having oxygen to operate. Also, there's evidence that scents of the forest reduce stress, and that being in the forest may trigger certain biological responses such as a lowering of blood pressure, boosting the production of serotonin, and boosting of the immune system. And as you stated, each foot placement and foot strike is different so you're building stronger connective tissues in the feet, ankles, knees, and hips. And this avoids repetitive stresses associated with running on uniform hard surfaces, that becomes more acute as we age. Last... it's way way more fun, ignore your pace, and just run for the joy of running, it's like being a kid again.

Humans don’t need that much oxygen. The air is mostly nitrogen. R u high ?

@jonathanperkin Год назад

Great to see my local trails! Almost impossible not to love trail running when the North Downs Way is on your doorstep. Thanks for the videos Sarah, found them via Ben via FMR/R4A, you're all inspiring me to push further and get out more. The dream would be the AoA as I absolutely love running the coast path, just not sure I have the mental toughness to push through the pain like you guys can! It's amazing what some people are able to do, and it's always really helpful seeing that it's not easy for anyone, but that you can push yourselves beyond what you thought possible.

@RosserRuns 4 года назад

Those are great tips. You have some cool areas to run in. Keep up the great videos.

@john1boggity56 2 года назад

@deehultonsmith 3 года назад

That was good timing on the part of the algorithm, throwing this channel into my recommendations. I’m in the process of switching from road to trails (pending recovery from a heel injury) and I’d just run out of Harry Jones vids to watch, so I was in need of another source of motivation.

@neilhaydock108 4 года назад

Another great informative video, Admire your passion for running. 👍

@dannygrays 4 года назад

Thanks for sharing the useful tips. Am just getting into trials after watching alot of stuff on UTMB. Not sure if I could do a 100 miler but there is something beautiful about running off road. We done in and around Virginia Waters over the weekend which was spectacular!

@jannievictor 4 года назад

Great stuff Sarah!

@KarlBrownTV Год назад

Looking forward to putting this into practice in the next few weeks :) I've got Man vs Mountain in Snowdon in just over a month, I've been totally a paved runner with prepping for marathons so hitting trails is going to be an interesting challenge. Great video, Sarah!

@guitarman7575 4 года назад

Great hints...I always tend to look always on my pace even for trail running.. it's better to ignore it definitely take some time to take a short break and enjoy the scenery. 👍

@hippychicken82 2 года назад

Thanks this is super helpful, brought my first pair of trail shoes this morning! Im relieved to find out walking up hill is not considered a failure 😁😬

@andreagordon7904 4 года назад

Brilliant video - love trail running - I live near to Wendover Woods in the Chiltern Hills so lots of amazing places to run - would love to see videos on nutrition and running - increasing your speed and strength training for running (plus best stretches) - great channel - excited to see what is ahead 👍

@gkmilne1 3 года назад

This was super useful! Thank you :)

@markwalsh6714 3 года назад

I was so happy to hear you mention that the pace will be slower and you can relax into the run. I think I’ve become obsessed by the Strava minutes per mile, even if I’ve run across a very muddy and waterlogged field. I think I just need to forget about it during trail runs.

@claytonmetternich7814 11 месяцев назад

New to the sport… and your video told me exactly what I wanted to hear. I have only run 1x 50k and I was self conscious about needing to walk. Nice to hear it’s ok / encouraged to walk up hills. Truly a humbling experience and very fun culture. Can’t wait. I’m subscribed and playing catch-up on your videos. UTMB is the goal. 36 years old and I think the speed years are behind me.

@SarahPlace 4 года назад

ah good well hope this helped a bit! enjoy incorporating some trails into your training!

@carlhole-maloney3249 3 года назад

Hi I'm running my very first trail race this Sunday. It's a 10 mile trail race, in South Derbyshire, brooksies bash. I was looking at doing a pb as my 10 mile pb is 1hr 28. But I think I will completely forget that, with the heat this weekend..and the hills. You have answered all my questions..thanks.

@Outdoorliving74 2 года назад

I grew up at the base of the pilgrims way in Maidstone and spent many hours running and cycling along it. Great memories.

@ered_lithui 3 года назад

After running an hour in the cold, wet dark this morning, your sunny attitude couldn‘t be more welcome. Also, great tip, I honestly never gave a single thought about my socks... it makes perfect sense, of course... Thanks! Greetings from the Bavarian Alps.

@randomize9642 4 года назад

So I went and tried my first trail run over the last weekend after watching this video. I loved it and am totally converted! Thanks for the tips, and had 'stop and take it in' running through my head as I enjoyed my surrounds. Thanks so much, and hi from Australia.

@SarahPlace 4 года назад
