Was overweight teen/young adult. Dropped 70ish lbs and started to run around 25 years old. Broke my leg right after being able to run a sub 18 5k in a soccer game. Came back and was never the same running on the road. I got in even better shape again and did physical therapy. Leg stopped having any sort of residual pain or indication it had ever been broken unless I ran more than half marathon distances. But never really got runners high or felt really great running again after it. Switched to running trails and realized it was better in almost every way. No pain going on hour long runs, obstacles to jump over, constant slopes and turns to push off against, random moments of intense exertion without thinking about it, nature sounds (running water, birds, trees moving in the wind, etc.) Trail running seems like a great way to switch it up and is probably the only way you'd get me to run an ultra marathon. Marathons on the road were horrible enough as it was.
Trails. All day, every day (if I could). Regularly drive 40min to run, the very few trails available to you in Chicago. My issue w road running is that it just beats my body up too much. Same footstrike over & over used to give me all kinds of nagging injuries. Once I jumped on the trail that all changed. I cld go much further on trails & actually get a few hills & feel great after, not beat up. I became a much stronger runner w less injuries via trail running. I am a city boy so road running is part of the game. Also like road running when visiting a new city to get a lay of the land. But if I ever have a choice...
Bro is running on trail helps to reduce shin splints and other injuries.
Hello fellow Chicagoland runner! Which are your favorite trails? I live north of Chicago, so very fortunate here. Old School Forest preserve and Des Plaines River trail are awesome (shady!) . Of course in winter it will be back to the roads
Roads during weekly morning runs for convenience before work, trails on the weekend when time permits. Love both, but favor trails.
100%!
I do the same
I LOVE SINGLETRACK TRAILS! So I really have to push myself to do road running!
I do trails on Saturday to give my body a rest from the impact of the road. I like trails for clearing my mind, and road for gauging improvements
1125th! Trail to safe on sport nutrition: bugs from fresh air and, when available, mineral water from clean springs.
I love mixing trail and road, road for interval and trail for endurance runs or when I run to relax. Currently mostly road due to a toe injury. I am happy that I moved out of the city a few years ago to live near trails :)
I hate running on the road, always seems to hurt my shins. Although, I’m blessed to live 5 mins from the South West Coast Path, and that’s where I spend most of my time 👍
Love trail. I started to run on hard surfaces when the pandemic restrictions began and injured my knee.
Mixing 2 days of trail and 3 or 4 days on roads. It's help a lot to not be boring with just one type of environment.
Never run on concrete, asphalt is less hard on the body, trails are better still in my view.
THANK you for your advice
Like both! Always fun to mix 😄🏃♀️
Yup - both are just great!
Great video! Consistent trail running has made my tendons stronger and more flexible, which helps me to reduce/prevent injuries on longer road runs.
Great video!
I run both for the different tri's i compete in and because I love running trails and where i live I have some great asphault trails that weave in and out of the city.
I combine running ofroad and running on the road when im doing my long run. I think its the best option to do both.
Trails all the time! Better for your body physically and mentally 👍🏃♂️
very helpful video!
Great tips! Also, as I watched 05:38, a bit of apprehension started to creep in as Heather and that car seemed to head towards the same point in sync. 😲
For me I take trail running far less serious. I tend to enjoy the run more. I don't care about pace, sometimes running through the woods completely off any trails and just finding a route through. The road seems to always been where I watch the pace and want to push. Not sure why as most competitive runs I do are trail runs 😂
Asphalt is harder for sure, but boy these new models of running shoes do dampen the impact!
I like doing both, i do road one day then trail next day and so on!
If I have a choice I would like to do more trail running. For a mental thing it's perfect watch your footing, cadence increases and decreases due to terrain or ground and maybe a long jump or two thrwn in.
Yeah, it's tricky sometimes, right? Gets you off the beat, but it's so much more fun in the nature.
Once i go trail, i don't wanna go back to road running 😅
great video guys
Glad you enjoyed it ian!
I have been a senior regular runner for many years .Your video is very encouraging for all .Good work.I enjoyed it.Congratulations and best wishes from Colombo Sri Lanka!👍🙌😜😃🌹
Thank you, and great to hear you've been running for years, keep it up.
I’m very lucky I have a massive golf course literally opposite my flat !!! It’s always open and lots of trails so can go anytime:) been at it for 3 months now 5-6 days a week. I do jog on the pavement very occasionally
I have heathland a few hundred meters away so summer I'm almost always out there, having to be super careful this year though as I'm getting so many ticks on me, I got 4 in one run a couple of weeks ago! Winter time when I'm running after work in the dark it's always on the road and then the odd run on trails at weekends.
Trail love it
It's amazing video of healthy running in trail or hill area, and thanks for sharing important kind of healthy information. I have a question though. Is it safe and healthy if we do jogging or running roadside down town, is carbon monoxide from car exhaustion dangerous for the lung when you breathing in on do morning jogging in bussy weekdays? Thank you.
Haven't tested trail yet. I have an open water swim race soon that trail testing in mountain territory can be tested. With all the on and offroad running your doing. You must spend time in the gym on leg day right?
Good
trails are my preference for longer runs as I am forced to slow down and enjoy it. I am luck to have a park 1k from my work with some nice trails.
Didn't we do this group run a couple of weeks ago? We work harder on the Trails but Enjoy it more!
Trails are just so much more peaceful - just a shame if you don't live near any
I run the trails.. Every step is truly a new step.
I feel bad for runners in the UK, here in Southern California it only rains a few days a year, and it only snows high up in the mountains. Outside of the big cities like Los Angeles, there are plenty of trails with the ocean breeze. We also have plenty of job opportunities outside of the big city, making it one of the best places in the world for all around living. If you don't live here, I highly suggest you consider moving here.
Trails! I love trail running!
I like to imagine I run, but I am years from that. In forest no one knows but me.
Simply Trail Heather
"flat smooth surface". Most of the roads around here (Oxford) are falling apart and I definitely wouldn't class them as smooth :(
That is then considered trail :D
Wish I had trails near me but road running will do! What city was this filmed in, it look so lovely!!
Bath.
Thanks for uploading this video on my request !
I haven't found a good area for trail running locally but I will be looking for one now.
Try the app ‘All Trails’. It helps you find trails near you.
@@kelrob30 thanks I will try that
A great excuse to buy some new gears
I go back into our fire roads here in the Santa Monica Mountains, I like to find an IN and OUT path with some long descents so on the way back I can do my hill intervals without having to repeat the same stretch.
I'd like either at the moment, currently in Covid lockdown. 😷 Treadmill has to do for now.
Still?
What country is this?
In Melbourne, Australia. We are allowed out for an hour a day, but i use that to walk the dog (he needs his exercise too)
Chris Golomb you should run with your dog :)
@@landyncb8751 he's too fast for me 🤣
I’m flat feet trying to get back into training but sore feet throw me off very often. ;(
I know constancy is key. Right now I'm dealing with shin splints pain since haven't been active for awhile. Hopefully won't quit this time.
👍👍👍🙏
I run grass trails.. Then dirt trails. Running in a grassy type trail is fun. Probably the hardest type besides running in the sand. I dunno... Just what I seem to notice. Ima fuckin 🐂
I hated running on pavement, then I loved running Trail. Off-road Baby!
You said it all. I run both on the trails and on the road for exactly the raisons you said in the video. For sure running on the trail is much nicer than running on the road. It is hard to beat running in the shade of trees on a hard packed dirt trail. Lately I have started doing some speed work on reliable unpaved surfaces and I am geting very good results. I will seldomly run on paved surface but I will do it occasionnaly to work on not making noise with my feet, I am a very heavy runner so I have to constantly work on landing smoothly to prevent injuries. It is nice to hear that so many runners enjoy trail running. Have a pleasant day.
I love trails....i would choose trails over road any day...
Same here
i don't even like to run on uneven ashphalt…
Love trail running but considering mountain lions were spotted on my favorite trail recently, I will stick to roads for the time being.
spotted a black bear a few weekends back. Thankfully that is quite rare
jheez - where was that?
@@SamMartinPeakPerformance Kouchibouquac National Park, NB, Canada
@@Boost00130 Ah crazy - most dangerous thing I get near me is a rabbit aha (in UK)
@@SamMartinPeakPerformance don't you mean Boris, or shouldn't we go there :)
nice socks
I don't like driving somewhere to run. I don't live close enough to any trails to run to them.
Is that Bath?
Yup 😊
Isn't that the stone bench near South Stoke?!
@@mrk4018 well spotted.
@@heatherfell_oly it's my old stomping ground! I grew up around there but I'm in Manchester now... I miss the hills and the trails in that area though. Oh those hills!!!
@@mrk4018 Oh there are some brutal ones!
What’s her name
Trail vs Road Running is a pretty negative approach. I do both and i love both ! Why one or the other when you can have both !
Did you watch it all? If so you'd know that at GTN we promote a mix of both!
@@heatherfell_oly Yes i watched it all miss Fell. I'm a long time subscriber and watch every gtn videos. My comment was mostly about the title. The use of VS means one or the other hence my comment. I guess i'll stop commenting then
@@ifonly2675 It is great to hear you're a longtime subscriber. Please do continue to comment. I am just sorry to hear your thoughts on the title, it was chosen to give viewers the clear idea of what they'll be watching.
Go out on a Trail, Get Bit by Paper Wasps on the solar Plexus and lose DAYS of training
Go out on a road, Get mugged and punched when they realize you aren't carrying anything
Put a fan in front of a treadmill and avoid all shit of the outside world all together.
The Brits are diggin them ON shoes. Doesn't look like they've caught on here yet.
I can’t do trail runs with my weak ass ankles. Already broken one because of it. Now I stick to the road. Besides if I do get injured it’s better on the road than in the middle of nowhere.
Running on the trails is appealing but there are too many changes on the trail, running is more challenging and not as safe than when you are on the road. You do not have to travel far to get to a trail and run it there, a road is always close by to get out there and enjoy it.

Her stride is so exaggerated for slow mos
