    I started trail running this year. 6.8 miles is the longest I've run on technical trails so far. I use minimalist running shoes. Only because I have weak ankles.

    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!

    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!

    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?

    • @chris.schmied
      @chris.schmied  2 роки тому +2

      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.

    How to survive long steep descend?

    • @chris.schmied
      @chris.schmied  Рік тому

      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!

      2-3 months of the year I go to the gym to train legs. Usually before I do an ultra marathon.
