How to Get Into Trail Running, and Running in the French Alps!

Editors Alex Cyr, Katelyn Tocci and Michael Doyle chat about Alex's recent trip to the French Alps for a week of trail running in the mountains. He shares what he learned, the mistakes he made on the trails, and the YouTube vlog he produced documenting this humbling and enlightening experience.

Then, they provide a primer on how to get into trail running, particularly if you're coming from a road running background. They cover topics such as finding trails, differences in training and mindset, the physical challenges of trail running, and the benefits of running on trails. They also touch on the importance of strength training for trail runners and the sense of community that comes with trail running. The hosts share their personal experiences and offer advice for those interested in trying trail running.
