10 techniques for more efficient trail running

Summary

In this episode of Trail Ambitions, I delve into the importance of running efficiency for trail runners, drawing from my 20 years of experience running in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. I emphasize that efficiency is crucial for both novice and seasoned runners, helping to conserve energy, reduce injury risk, and enhance overall enjoyment of the sport. I share practical tips on improving efficiency, such as maintaining a relaxed body, proper breathing, and correct posture. I also recommend the book “Chi Running” by Danny Dreyer, which influenced my approach. I encourage you to practice these techniques gradually and engage with the community by sharing your own tips.
