WORKOUT
Trail running workout
CIRCUITS
Sticks and stones may break my bones… well, not if you do your strengthening, agility and flexibility exercises, they won’t. Let’s get ready to rumble!
It feels like trails time of year, doesn’t it? Although it’s nice to strike out into the countryside, trail running is very different to running on roads. Your gait will be different, as well as your stride length, running posture and foot placement. This workout will prepare your body for the uneven terrain ahead.
Warm-up
Swing your leg 10 times forward and backwards and then side to side. Extend your arms sideways and rotate your body left to right 10 times.
Sets & reps
Perform three sets of 10 to 15 repetitions.
Cooldown
Stretch your calves, back, front, inner and outer thighs and bottom. Hold each stretch for 60 seconds to allow you to improve your flexibility. Repeat the routine twice.
