Trail running is possible anyywhere No mountains? No problem!

Even though trail running is often asso­ciated with alpine trails high up in the mountains, this does not have to be the standard. Trail running works just as well over hill and dale in small woods or on local dirt tracks. Even a small incline can give you many meters of elevation gain – just run it several times.

If you don’t have much time, even stairs are a wonderful training envir­onment with lots of elevation gain. Training uphill increases your cadence and strengthens both your muscles and your cardi­ovascular system.
