Trail Run

How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

1. 01Begin at a controlled pace appropriate for the terrain, weather, and visibility.
2. 02Scan several steps ahead for rocks, roots, loose surfaces, and changes in elevation.
3. 03Shorten the stride and increase cadence on technical or downhill sections to improve control.
4. 04Use the arms for balance and adjust foot placement rather than forcing a fixed running line.
5. 05Reduce speed whenever footing becomes uncertain and maintain a sustainable effort for the route.
