Madaboutrun recently acquired this domain, meaning that it now links here, where you can find all the running content you need, by people who would eat, breathe, and sleep running… if it were physically possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are a growing website and brand dedicated to running, and are working hard to expand by adding tons of awesome running content; from reviews on the best running shoes<\/a> and equipment<\/a>, to tips on how to improve your timings<\/a>, to common questions people have about running and its impact on their lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are all passionate about running here, and we’ve got a lot of plans for amazing content to keep you well informed about the latest in running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We’re incredibly excited to introduce you to our website and content, and we’d like to introduce you to one of our most recent running fascinations while you’re here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While Madaboutrun.com is focused on all aspects of running, there is one style of running in particular that we’re hoping to shed additional light on in the coming months. That style of running <\/a>is trail running<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n For those who don’t know, trail running<\/a> is one of the most challenging and rewarding subtypes of running, and although it is similar to running in many ways, it incorporates many additional and interesting aspects that make it a unique experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is some debate amongst the trail running community about what constitutes true trail running. Some of the more hardcore traditionalists believe that trail running is only truly trail running when the trails being used are remote and hard to access, making the experience both more grueling and challenging than normal running, but also riskier and more exploratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However there are others who are more relaxed in their assessment of what constitutes trail running, and these people believe that any running route which uses an off-road trail counts as trail running, so long as the majority of the route is unpaved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While these types of debates are common in almost every sport, the definition of what is or isn’t trail running doesn’t need to be so complex or contentious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Trail running is essentially running that takes place on unpaved and often remote trails, and the challenges that this presents make trail running a unique form of exercise that incorporates elements of several different sports, from hiking to running, to orienteering and even cross country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Very often, trail running occurs on rough and difficult terrain, meaning that running a 5km trail running route could take twice as long as 5km on a standard paved running route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Trail running also requires specialist equipment, from specially designed shoes with a more aggressive tread and support, to vests and bags that allow for storage of essentials from drinks to emergency equipment such as first aid gear. Some trail runners even bring hiking poles when tackling particularly difficult terrain!<\/p>\n\n\n\n In many ways, trail running is a discipline that crosses many boundaries and this is one of the reasons why this form of exercise has exploded in popularity, as it appeals to a broad range of people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some who take up trail running want to get an amazing workout<\/a> and improve their fitness, however, there are others who want to explore, or who enjoy training outdoors instead of inside a cramped gym.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
