      @@cohenalthoffyou may have to go through a few sets to figure it out. I found for myself, my road/treadmill shoe is the Brooks Ghost, and for trails the Brooks Cascadia 17’s without the Gortex lining. I tried Nikes, Asics, puma, you name it and those are the ones that have felt the best without giving fatigue/blisters.

      Trail running is harder than road running because road is a smooth surface with lower friction

    I love trail running but most trails around me are 30-45 minutes away unfortunately. When I can trail run, I use it to add variety in my training.

    Hill runners maintain fitness levels longer after abruptly stopping running so trail runners may have an advantage there unless you’re doing lots of hills on the road.

    Interesting. All of the trail runners I know mix in road races, especially a road marathon as a tune up race for a 50k or 50 miler, but alternatively road runners may not run trail races at all. That's not to say they don't train on trails.

  • @andrewhoi7465
    @andrewhoi7465 4 місяці тому +1

    I prefer trail running as there are more reasons to slow down and enjoy the nature surrounding hence making the run more enjoyable.

    I focus on (ultra)trail-races, but I also make sure that I have a flat workout (track or street) once a week, typically an threshold workout + I try to race 1-2 (flat) road races a year, one shorter e.g 10k and one longer road race like a half marathon, just to make sure I train speed, tempo and threshold that will make me stronger on the trails why I usually don't have time to do this work since I spent a lot of time on hill repeats or long runs 🤞🏼

    I think trail runners have a more muscular build, which helps with power-focused uphills and decreasing the impact of gruelling downhills. It does make them more heavy, though...
    Road running is more focused on efficiency (marathon distance), and excessive muscle building hinders this.
