Choose Trail Terrain Wisely
- Pick the trail terrain that closely matches your next race for best training specificity.
- Choose the biggest elevation gain available if technical terrain isn't accessible.
30-30 Uphill Interval Workout
- Doing 30 seconds hard uphill and 30 seconds easy downhill transforms a classic interval workout for trail sharpening.
- In flatter regions, repeated shorter efforts with brief recovery approximate the workout when long hills aren't available.
Trail Tempo Effort Management
- Trail tempo runs teach managing effort and pacing over uneven terrain with up-and-down intensity.
- Learning to feather the gas on climbs and flats helps avoid burnout and extend endurance.
