Trail running is becoming increasingly popular.

No worries, at Sportshop you can order everything you need for the perfect trail run.

What is trail running?

Trail running is simply walking on unpaved trails. If you are soon walking one of the trail running routes in your area, you will notice that this form of running is challenging, adventurous and above all fun. Because most trails are 80% -90% off-road, you can explore beautiful nature. Great if you like to alternate your standard running laps or like to explore beautiful areas in your area. Now that you know what trail running is, it's time to delve into your 'running gear'.

Trail running for beginners, what to watch out for?

If you are just starting with trail running, you have to adjust your running style considerably. Maybe you are already used to completing the 10K within an hour or you are one of the heroes who have completed a marathon. Dosing your energy is crucial during a trail run. This means that not only beginners, but also experienced athletes choose to take a climb by walking. Tip! As you walk uphill, make sure to push yourself with your hands on your thighs. This saves muscle strength in your legs and puts your core to work.
