Brève description / annotation

Whether you're just stepping off pavement for the first time, or a seasoned pro, dig into this guide to move your trail running forward. Colorful and easy to peruse, Trail Running Illustrated is filled with tips on technique, gear, diet, injury prevention and treatment, and trail racing. Trail Running is great fun. Obviously, your eyes are more fixed on the path than when you're out jogging, as to not trip over any roots or rocks. In return, you don't have to cross any busy roads and the traffic you will encounter will mostly be hikers and mountainbikers. It never gets boring. The landscape, flora and fauna, which you will encounter when trail running, are breathtaking. For beginners, this book will explain everything you need to look out for when trail running. It looks at aspects such as nutrition, training, equipment, injury treatment, nature conservation and much more. Experienced runners will learn all about the requirements of Ultra Runs and contests: even experienced runners can learn a thing or two. A full chapter is dedicated to women and trail running.
