This podcast episode is inspired by my newest program READY TO RUN and some questions that my friend Wendy had while reviewing the content!

Wendy was wondering if it's okay for newer runners to run on trails from the start, if trails are considered more advanced, when I would recommend running on trail vs road, how to know if a trail is technical, and the difference between surfaces for running.

1. Find a good trail.
I love using Trail Run Project (which I go into in depth in the live) or Facebook groups to find new trails. You can find how hard the trail is, the terrain to expect, and see some pictures to get an idea of what it looks like. I also always recommend researching the local wildlife just in case.

2. Leave your ego at home
You’ll probably be slower on trails than you are on roads, and that can get into a lot of runner’s heads. Go into a trail run without an expectation of pace or time, and you’ll probably enjoy it a lot more.

3. Walk when you need to.
There is no shame in walking!! EVER! Sometimes it’s more efficient to power hike. Sometimes you just can’t or don’t want to run. And that’s totally okay and NORMAL.

Do you consider yourself a runner?

Today I talk about what the label of "runner" means to me based on a discussion I had with one of my athletes about whether or not she's a "runner" and at which point that switch happens. This can also apply to any other sport that you do!
