Trail Running for Beginners
The Trailhead Series, #22
WES HALLORAN
Sinopsis
On a trail, your road pace means almost nothing. The ground shifts, the hills come in short, steep pitches, and the runners who enjoy it most are the ones who stop watching the numbers, walk the climbs, and keep their eyes a few steps ahead.
Trail Running for Beginners is the plain-spoken guide to moving your running from pavement to dirt and coming home in one piece. Its honest about the risks, skeptical of gear hype, and clear about the habits that matter: running by effort, building up slowly, carrying enough, and telling someone where youre going.
Inside, youll learn how to:
Understand what changes on the trail, run by time and effort instead of pace, and tell if youre ready to start Choose between trail shoes and road shoes, get the fit right, and know when a pair is worn out Decide what to wear and what to carry, from a short run near town to the full Ten Essentials for longer or remote runs Run uphill, downhill, and over roots, rocks, mud, streams, and switchbacks, and fall with less damage Build up without getting hurt, with run-walk, rest days, lighter weeks, and the warning signs of overuse Estimate how long a trail run will take, set a turnaround time, and plan water and fuel Handle heat, cold, altitude, lightning, darkness, and wildlife, and stay found when youre moving fast Share the trail politely, try a group run or a first race, and handle falls, a turned ankle, getting lost, heat illness, and bonkingThe book ends with a six-step plan that takes you from about 30 minutes of running on pavement to your first longer trail run, with distances, climbing, time estimates, and water worked out.
