About your guide, Jon, and Trail Running...
I only started running at the start of the first lockdown, back in March 2020. At the time I couldn’t, and wouldn’t want to, run 5k. Only one year later and I love running – so good for the body and mind. Also, being just over 4st / 25kgs lighter really helps on those hills! All weight I lost by running. If you’ve just got started with your running, an
d want to try something a bit different, I can’t recommend trail running enough. Each trail run is a mini-adventure and the opportunity to get closer to, and appreciate, the amazing countryside we have on our doorstep in the UK. Also, trail running is better for your body than running on the road as the ground is generally more forgiving and your stride has to be uneven to deal with the ever changing terrain, which prevents over-loading any one part of the body in the way road running can due to its repetitive nature.
