#Tipoftheweek
✨✨✨✨
It’s Monday and that means it’s time for our Tip of the week! This week is all about finding ways to train for trails when you don’t have trails to train on!
✨✨✨✨
No trails, no problem (sort of! 😂). Here’s an easy way to work on a little coordination and agility on your road runs. Try using a curb to mimic the scrambling you have to do on technical trails. It’s not exactly like being on trails but it will help you pick your feet up a little more on trails and help your body adjust to the up and downs on the trails.
1. Start slow and increase your speed as your get more coordinated.
2. Practice different stride lengths from shorter to longer (to mimic some of the leaping and jumping you have to do on trails)
3. Alternate which leg you step up on or step off of the curb with.
4. Find a hill and practice doing this uphill and downhill.
✨✨✨✨
Try this on an easy run sometime and let us know what you think! It’s not exactly like being on the trails but it will help a little and it keeps things more interesting when you get bored on the roads! Have fun and send us a message if you need help training for your next trial adventure!
