If you want to experience the real freedom of running in a natural surrounding and if the ever repeating runs in the streets start to bore you, trail running is the right way to improve your running experience. The charm of starting trail running is to find your own way on lonely mountain hiking trails and to set your own goals, because no trail run can be compared to another.
Running guru Jeff Galloway offers his own approach of getting started with his unique way of guaranteeing an injury-free running style. With his Run-Walk-Run™ method Jeff helps beginners to start trail running the right way. Advanced runners can use a specialized training program which will help them prevent overtraining, injuries, and other calamities you can encounter during intense training sessions. The book covers a wide range of trail running equipment, especially covering the whole range of trail running shoes. If you want to jump start your trail run, this is your complete guide.
This book was OK with some good basic information but like most of his newer edition books, they are more like text books for a course. I prefer he's older books
Прочитането на книгата е пълна загуба на време за онези, които имат известни познания в областта на бягането в пресечени местности и които искат да научат нещо ново, полезно, конкретно и практично по тази тема. В книгата има твърде много безполезни съвети, които, ако бъдат прилагани, буквално биха лишили бегача от усещането за самото бягане и биха го превърнали в машина, едва ли не сляпо изпълняваща някакъв наръчник как да се мисли, как да се стъпва, как да се диша, когато е топло или студено, какво да се облече при определена температура на въздуха и прочее. Книгата ме разочарова.
Good, but it did not tell me much that I hadn't already figured out for myself by now. This would have been a fine and helpful book to read when I started trail running in 2012.
