**Workout Wednesday ⚡🐶💥**

Mari is mixing strength training with a little canine assistance this week! 😄

Introducing the **"Kettlebell Drake Squat"** — where Drake steps in as the weight of choice while Mari works on squats to build lower-body strength and stability. 🐾🏃‍♀️

Strong quads, glutes, and core help power climbs, improve endurance, and keep you moving strong on the trails.

Bonus points if your workout partner has four legs. 🐶🌿

**Trail Tip Tuesday 🌿⚡**

Overgrown trails can hide rocks, roots, and uneven footing, so don’t be afraid to slow down and stay alert. 👀🏃‍♂️

Keep your eyes a few steps ahead, shorten your stride, and use your arms for balance when the trail gets tight. A little extra caution can go a long way. 💥

Remember: the goal isn’t just to move fast — it’s to move smart and keep the adventure going. 🌲

REAL TALK THURSDAY:

Most runners underestimate how much sodium they lose.

Two people can run the same trail, the same distance, at the same pace…

…and have completely different hydration needs.

Some finish with salt crusted on their hat, shirt, or pack straps.
Others barely notice it.

That’s because sweat rate and sodium loss are personal.

If you’re constantly dealing with cramps, headaches, heavy legs, or feeling wiped out after long runs, it might not be a fitness problem…

It might be a hydration problem.

At Trail Gains, we believe hydration isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Know your sweat.
Fuel your effort.
Replace what you lose.

Because better hydration doesn’t just help on race day—it helps every training day that gets you there.

👉 Are you a **salty sweater** or a **light sweater**?

**Workout Wednesday ⚡💥**

Mari is back with another **Swiss Ball core workout**! 🌿🏃‍♀️

This week’s exercise starts with the ball between your feet, then you pass it to your hands and bring it overhead while lying on the floor. It’s a simple movement that challenges your **core strength, coordination, and control**.

A strong core helps you stay stable, efficient, and powerful whether you’re climbing, descending, or grinding out the final miles. 💪⚡

**Trail Tip Tuesday ⚡🌿**

This week, Josh talks about one of the biggest differences on the trail: **smooth vs. technical terrain**. 🏃‍♂️⛰️

Smooth trails let you settle into a rhythm and focus on pace. Technical trails demand more attention, balance, and foot placement.

The key? Adjust your effort to the terrain. Don't chase the same pace everywhere — run the trail that's in front of you. 💥

Smart trail runners know that efficiency beats speed when the terrain gets tough.

👉 Which do you prefer: smooth flowy trails or rocky technical terrain? Drop your answer below 👇

🏔️ Technical
🌲 Smooth

REAL TALK THURSDAY:

Trail running isn't hard because of the miles.

It's hard because of everything that comes before them.

The 5am alarms.

The runs nobody sees.

The mornings when you're tired.

The days when motivation disappears.

The moments before a race when you're wondering if you've done enough.

Most people see the finish line photos.

They don't see the doubt, the loneliness, or the conversations we have with ourselves on long training runs.

That's why trail running changes people.

The physical challenge gets all the attention.

The mental challenge is what transforms us.

At Trail Gains, we believe the trail reveals who we are when things get uncomfortable.

And that's where growth happens.

👉 What's the hardest mental moment during training?

Be honest with the Pack 👇

The early alarms?

Running alone?

Self-doubt?

Missing family time?

Race anxiety?

**Workout Wednesday ⚡🐶**

Mari is back with another **Swiss Ball exercise** — this time focusing on **Hamstring Curls** to build stronger hamstrings, glutes, and core stability. 💥🏃‍♀️

And making a special guest appearance... **Drake** 🐾 who clearly wanted to be part of today's workout! 😄

Strong hamstrings help support powerful strides, better stability, and stronger running on the trails. 🌿

**Trail Tip Tuesday ⚡🍕🏃‍♂️**

Josh's tip this week: **Don't try anything new the night before a race or long trail run.**

Why? Because Josh decided to test out a new pizza spot... and let's just say it's not sitting too nicely with him right now. 😅

Race week is not the time to get adventurous with food. Stick with what you know works, so your stomach isn't the one calling the shots on race day. 💥

Train hard. Fuel smart. Learn from Josh's mistakes. 😂

Motivation Monday ⚡🏃‍♂️

Some miles heal more than they hurt. 💥

Running has a way of clearing the mind, lifting the mood, and putting life's challenges into perspective. One step at a time, one mile at a time. 🌿
