MFR 146:  Six Reasons Every Runner Should Run Off Road

MFR 146: Six Reasons Every Runner Should Run Off Road

On and off-road miles are not equal. Off-road miles make you a better runner, make you more fit, and make you more sane.

A mile in the woods holds greater value than any on-road mile.

Running in the wild, produces startling results. It improves strength by engaging more muscles, especially the small muscles in the feet. It increases agility as each step is placed, avoiding roots or water or slippery spots, and it enhances proprioception as each step varies from the last, forcing constant split second communication between brain and muscles.

All this makes better runners. All this will translate into faster running and better form when running and racing on roads, but there is so much more.
