Pro tip: When tackling mountain trails, shorten your stride on climbs and let gravity do the work on descents. Your legs will thank you at mile 10.

What’s your favorite trail running terrain?

Find your flow on the trail. Mountain running isn’t just exercise—it’s meditation in motion. Each step up brings new views, fresh air, and mental clarity you won’t find on pavement. Start with shorter trail loops and gradually build. Your legs (and mind) will thank you.

It’s been a while since my last check-in. I’m continuing to make good progress in this half-marathon buildup. The plan I am using at present is actually a base plan that I started as a way to build back fitness. But then I signed up for a half marathon in May. I could have pulled to a HM plan but decided to stick with the base plan and add miles where I could. The base plan has two weeks left, and I figure I can switch to a half marathon plan then with 7 weeks remaining before race day. I’ll basically join that plan midstream but I should be ready.

As for today, I had to wait until early afternoon but after morning track practice I headed to a nearby park and logged 6 trail miles, followed by some core. I’m planning on another long run step up tomorrow - 12 miles. It’s starting to feel real now and I’m enjoying the first real gains I have had in a few years!

Summer running tip: When it gets hot, hit the shaded forest trails. Cooler temps under the tree canopy, softer surfaces on your joints, and that fresh forest air makes every mile feel a little easier.

A challenging hike rewarded with breathtaking views to Purple Tarn on North Yorkshire Moors.

Nothing beats a quiet forest trail to reset your mind. The soft ground is easier on your joints, and nature keeps you present. If you haven’t tried trail running yet, start with a local park path—you’ll feel the difference.

That moment when you reach the summit and the view makes every step worth it. 🏔️ Whether you’re chasing trail PRs or just getting outside, remember: the best views come after the hardest climbs.

Forest trails demand focus—roots, rocks, and uneven terrain keep your mind sharp and your feet quick. That’s the beauty of trail running: every step is a small decision.
