Trail running is different… and that’s the point.

In this video, I cover:

• How to transition from road running to trails

• Why trail running feels slower (and why that’s normal)

• The biggest mistakes beginners make

• Why you don’t need special gear to start

• How to adjust your training (time vs miles)

• How to run on uneven terrain safely

• When to walk vs run on trails

• How strength training improves trail performance

• Tips for downhill and uphill running

One of the biggest mindset shifts?

Stop focusing on pace—and start focusing on effort.

Trail running is about time on feet, adaptability, and learning how to move efficiently over different terrain.

And the best part?

You don’t need to be “ready” to start.

Just get out there.
