Trail Running Illustrated

The art of running free

Trail Running is great fun. Obviously, your eyes are more fixed on the path than when you're out jogging, as to not trip over any roots or rocks. In return, you don't have to cross any busy roads and the traffic you will encounter will mostly be hikers and mountainbikers. It never gets boring. The landscape, flora and fauna, which you will encounter when trail running, are breathtaking. For beginners, this book will explain everything you need to look out for when trail running. It looks at aspects such as nutrition, training, equipment, injury treatment, nature conservation and much more. Experienced runners will learn all about the requirements of Ultra Runs and contests: even experienced runners can learn a thing or two. 

“The gems of information in Trail Running Illustrated will continue your joy as you dive deeper into this sport we all love.”
—Krissy Moehl, two-time winner of the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc, and Patagonia-sponsored trail runner

“A comprehensive guide that entertains as well. This book should be on any aspiring trail runner’s must-read list.”
—Michael Benge, editor in chief of Trail Runner Magazine
