190. New Coaching Call! How to Train For Your First Hilly Trail Race

This episode features a coaching call about how to best prepare for a hilly trail race when you've never run one before. Even if you're not gearing up for trails or hills, this is a valuable discussion on sound training for different types of terrain.

Aileen is a member of Team Strength Running and has very little experience with hills or trails. But she wants to "go for it" and do her first very hilly trail race coming up soon.

How can she best prepare? What opportunities exist for building strength for hills and trails? What must her long runs and faster workouts look like?

As Aileen adds all new variables to this upcoming race, our goal is to make sure that she's not just physically prepared for the elevation changes and trails, but confident in her ability to do so.

Join the team and you could have the opportunity to come on the podcast, too!
