I don’t run trails and I’ve only done one trail race – Hunter’s half last month. There was definitely no way to run fast and I think the fact that it stormed all night before the race just added to the “fun”!!!
i’m bummed there aren’t really any trails close to me either. 🙁 dang, that race u did with Hunter was less like a trail race and kinda like a sick comedy show about all the things that COULD go wrong for a race all happening at once!! you guys were troopers!! #tough
I need to explore some trails in my area. Our new home is near a national park so next year I’ll be rocking some trail runs hopefully 🙂
It would definitely be a nice change from the treadmill, but I can’t complain about my current seaside weekend runs either 🙂
oh my goodness, SCORE on the location of that new home!!! don’t lie, that’s the REAL reason you picked it, right? jk. but can’t wait to hear about and see all the fun you have exploring that park. 🙂
I started running trails earlier this year and they’re definitely a lot more challenging than running on roads! There’s a trail system in our area at Pandapas Pond called the Poverty Creek Trail System. It’s located in the Jefferson National Forest and the trails are really pretty. My favorite type of hill workout is to run a route with rolling hills. That way you get hill repeats without actually having to do repeats on the same hill over and over, which for me gets monotonous.
i’ve seen how well you’ve taken to trails and i dare say you’re tearing it up, Girl!! 🙂 i wish i lived closer to those gorgeous trails you’ve got over there. and true point on the rolling hills, they kinda disguise it a bit how much harder you’re working. 😉
