Love trail running but its just much easier to hit the road most days

I prefer trail running because for me it is more challenging and the gear is just cool 😂

I find running trail is much easier on my knees

I love trail running but most trails around me are 30-45 minutes away unfortunately. When I can trail run, I use it to add variety in my training.

The real difference is probably on the downhill (often overlooked)

road running is boring

For me trail running is difficult to do (live in a city) but when I can get out on the trails I love it.

Hill runners maintain fitness levels longer after abruptly stopping running so trail runners may have an advantage there unless you’re doing lots of hills on the road.

Interesting. All of the trail runners I know mix in road races, especially a road marathon as a tune up race for a 50k or 50 miler, but alternatively road runners may not run trail races at all. That's not to say they don't train on trails.

i wish i could run trail more often, unfortunately where i live the forest is populated by bears and wild boars so its not safe :(

I focus on (ultra)trail-races, but I also make sure that I have a flat workout (track or street) once a week, typically an threshold workout + I try to race 1-2 (flat) road races a year, one shorter e.g 10k and one longer road race like a half marathon, just to make sure I train speed, tempo and threshold that will make me stronger on the trails why I usually don't have time to do this work since I spent a lot of time on hill repeats or long runs 🤞🏼

I prefer trail running as there are more reasons to slow down and enjoy the nature surrounding hence making the run more enjoyable.

Trail running is way more fun. Running on dirt is easier on my joints too. Plus there is nothing like barefoot running thru the forest!

Anything over 2 hours on the road destroys my feet. Trails are just more fun as well

I think trail runners have a more muscular build, which helps with power-focused uphills and decreasing the impact of gruelling downhills. It does make them more heavy, though... Road running is more focused on efficiency (marathon distance), and excessive muscle building hinders this.

Trails is a go for me now

running on a trail makes it a lot more slippery and slows me down, requiring more energy

Awesome stuff Jeremy!

Do both and treadmill once a week so you can do specific intervals

Cool you guys are are hill, road, and trail runners. While I trained on the side of volcano's crater

Bro said a whole lot of nothing 😂

I do both. Personally, I enjoy trail running.

I prefer trail running because it feels better to do so. While running on pavement activates my old splint shin injury and thus give me more pain.

trail running is so much more fun for me, but it's obviously much easier to find, and run on the road

Nice video!! 👍

Simple explanation

I think XC is definitely the best and most exciting. I like road running too, though.

There's chance of pizza at Trail Ultra aid station. Trail is better.

Id choose trail everyday except the road runs right up to the house and I have to run 10k to get to the trails

isnt cement running hell on the body????????

Trails bro!

I only run on the road to get to the next trail or forrest road

very interesting

Road running you have the danger of being stuck by a vehicle. Running the trail you have the possibility of being eaten by an animal. Sorry of subject… proceed

90% trails

Trail can help you get off pavement and not get injured.

I try not to run on concrete and pavement... yawn. I need to run up and down mountain trails.

Good video👍

Ever encounter any snakes?

Well no fucking shit

Thanks for nothing

Do not care
