Why trail running? For starters, it is running - which is very useful for ultimate! However trail running also has a few other benefits:
- The nature of trails is that they typically involve more elevation:
- It is harder on your muscles to push up hill. This trail involves some steep sections and some stairs.
- On the way down, you're working out your stabilisation muscles a lot more than a flat run.
- The uneven nature of the trail provides even more stabilisation training.
- It is interesting and pretty!
Living in Hobart has some negatives, like being cold and dark in winter! So you should take advantage of some of the positives, like how close you are to the bush and various nature trails that are really nice at this time of year!
Tomorrow is a rest day... and I don't have any plans for this evening but I might do some stretching or core work.
