Trail and Running: What are the differences?
As the name implies, trail running takes place off-road, unlike asphalt running. Trail runners usually run on constantly changing terrain and on technical trails. Trail running competitions take place on different types of terrain which can be: rocks, stones, mud, grass, snow.
How to prepare for a trail run to improve performance?
Trail running is both a physical and mental sport that requires good preparation. Not only do you need to be in good physical shape, but you also need to be mentally tough enough to adapt to all conditions. To maximize your efficiency during your trips, think about complementing your cardio workouts with weight training sessions. This will allow you to prepare yourself for the variations in pace and support when you are on technical terrain with more unevenness. The most difficult competitions, such as the vertical mile, require "intensive" training on similar inclines, i.e. an average slope of 15 degrees.
What type of equipment should I choose for trail running?
Shoes
Essential equipment, trail shoes are designed to offer comfort, protection and performance to runners. These models have an outsole equipped with studs to adapt to all surfaces. For running on the plains or in the forest, choose a pair with optimal grip to gain stability. For mountain trails, opt for shoes dedicated to more technical trails that are more robust.
Backpacks
Concerning the trail bags, the choice must be made according to the distance to be covered, but also the equipment to be carried. For your short distance runs, a bag with a volume of less than 10 L will be more than enough. If you are a long distance or ultra trail runner, you should choose a bigger bag.
