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!
Thank you for sharing ☺️ it's my first time to join a trail run this coming march 19, 2023 and I'm so excited and a little bit nervous. Hoping i can finish a 13KM run 🙏
Thanks for the tips. I have the same kind of shoes and vest as you 👍🏻 Training for my first ultra in May. I did hill repeats yesterday. They are a killer! 😄🏃♂️
Good stuff! Thanks for sharing your tips. Started trailrunning on my recent vacation in Réunion. And the country is perfect for it! Sadly I live in a flat country (NL), wish to move somewhere where I can make this a weekly routine :)
I’m glad you liked the vid! Yes it’s fun to live close to the mountains if you enjoy outdoor activities! Hope you make it to Austria one day! Thanks for commenting :)
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?
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.
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!

Welcome back!! Always good to start slow and ease back into it :) Good luck!!

im sometimes the opposite in that its funnest for me to run on the most challenging parts
I know what you mean. I know some people that love the difficult parts.

@@chris.schmied thanks, I'd like to come there again 😃 great scenery in the video also
Good trail running video, don't push too hard and watch your step
Thanks a lot! Yes, don’t want to get injured 😉
Great video, thanks
Glad you liked it !! :)

Taten sagen mehr als Worte
Immer :)
What is the location you were running in the video?
Gaisberg, Salzburg. There a a lot of trails there. You can also take a bus to the top.
I actually run 1 mile up the mountains , and I do 2 raps so that's probably 2miles .
Thanks for video I learnt something.
Glad to hear! Keep pushing :)
How to survive long steep descend?
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!
Do you lift weights sir or just pure running?
2-3 months of the year I go to the gym to train legs. Usually before I do an ultra marathon.
As a therian who can’t do quads cause of over flexible shoulders and weak wrists trail running makes me feel free
Amazing what trail running can do! Enjoy every moment and have fun on the trails. :)
Woah how did your calves get so big, i want to have big calves too
Lots of hiking I guess. I also train my calves in the gym.
Jump on a truck tyre like Muay-thai figters do in Thailand.
Thank you ! Very informative
Glad you found it helpful :)) have fun on the trails!
