Happy Wednesday! I wanted to share with you some of my tips that I’ve learned from trail running over the years. I’m still (by no means), a great trail runner (nor will I ever excel at it), but I love when I can get out there. I always make sure to budget extra time. I know that I’ll be hiking some and will just take longer to cover the distance.

I also want to make sure that I bring enough gear. That includes snacks, water, gels, extra layers, another pair of socks. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten my feet wet and not had a dry pair to change into.

Take time to enjoy the views from the summit. That’s one of my favorite parts from being on the trails. I also take time to snag a lot of photos when I’m out there. No need to rush (in my opinion!)

What are your favorite parts of trail running?

Any other tips you have?!?
