Even the most die hard road runner has got to admit, there’s something pretty magical or at least a little romantic about the idea of trail running. And if you’d like to try it or get better at it, there’s a few things you’re going to want to know first.

Let’s find out.

Today I’ve invited back Coach Tera Pruett. Tera is a trail running and strength coach here in Asheville, NC and also coaches with me at the Asheville Running Retreat in September.

We’re talking about:

The basics of trail running and how it’s different from the roads,
Hill techniques to be a better climber and downhiller, and
Types of specific trail training from beginner to more advanced

Spring is a great time to hit the trails, and after listening to this, you’ll be even more prepared to tackle them.
