There’s something so idyllic about the thought of exploring the countryside’s beautifully vast and remote-feeling spaces in your trainers – particularly here in the UK, which has such spectacular scenery. And doing so is as life-affirming and mentally relaxing as you might imagine. Not to mention the fact it will make you a stronger runner and reduce your long-term risk of injury…
You may have flirted with the idea of taking your running off-road before but concluded it’s for a certain ‘type’ of runner – the gritty type that “know what they’re doing”. And you wouldn’t be the only one. A survey by Salomon found that 60 per cent of runners would like to run more on trails if they knew where and how to do it.
