Excellent as usual. A word of advice from an old trail runner: don't run with such a wide grin in the summer when there are bees or wasps around, they tend to resent being in the mouth. It hurts!

Started my couch to 5k today, was super fun, enjoyed the challenge. Set myself some long term goals. Cheers for the videos, they are great inspiration

Morning Stephen, again another brillaint video. We have been looking forward to this and it did not disappoint. Really useful, non preachy, supportive advise, thank you. Loved the mackerel sky in the back ground too, normally a sign of changing weather! Great advise on finding tracks and trails too, clubs and groups are brillaint, even if you don't like talking to people you can still gleam information 🧐 We are a little way off the trail runners smile lol, maybe one day! Stay safe and well, Ceri and Kat ❤🏔👍

Funny and entertaining, thanks! The problem with trail running is that there is no going back once you start. The equipment you need depends on the distance, and how remote you are. If you are in the mountains (running or hiking) you should always carry emergency equipment. A first aid kit and survival blanket are very cheap and light, and could save your life!

@StephenJReid

Thanks! I make a distinction between trail and mountain running, I see them as disciplines as different as road and trail. A lot of trail races can just be done in road shoes. But yes a lot more kit once advanced to mountain/fell running, first aid kit, survival bivvi (not blanket), emergency food, full waterproofs, map, compass (depending on area) and sometimes a satellite communicator

The slippers were my favorite

I’ve been mostly running on road for years but really want to start more off road stuff. I find that in my trail runs my mile times are MUCH slower mostly because I’m focused on not breaking an ankle or falling on my face. I’m aiming for 1200 miles this year and I hope to make at least 600 of it off road.

@StephenJReid

I went from a 7:45min/mile road pace to 9:30-11:30min/mile on trail. That’s one huge difference, you have to let your ideas about pace and time go as there are a lot more variables. It’s a different type of fitness. A runner who is 8:30 on road is less fit than one who is 8:30 on trail.

Nice!

I started running on trails a couple of weeks ago. I'm 62 and way overweight! I got the Salomon chest active pack to carry water, added bonus, it restricts my man boobs from bouncing all over when attempting to run. Every other day I'm running through a forest at 5.30am and loving it. Why 5.30am? Mainly because I'm fat and don't want people to see me 🤣🤣🤣 At the moment when I run (if you can call it that), I look like a beached whale struggling to get back to water!

Just took the bins out wearing my slippers and I'm feel like the support and cushioning is starting to go. I've been sporting the Christmas stocking filler special the last couple of year. I like a neutral, medium cushion slipper thats durable and has an air of distinguished style. You seem like a slipper connoisseur, would you have any recommendations ????

@StephenJReid

3 жыл бұрын

You want something with zero drop, medium cushion but with maximum faux fur collar for ankle support. Most popular for winter are the over-sized gorilla feet style with the chunky nails on the front for grip in icy conditions 😛 I hear some of the latest models have a carbon plate, but it’s a bit controversial 😂

Hi Sean! I run about 2-3 times a week on average. Maybe 4 times when I’m seriously training. I’ve met a least a couple of decent runners who only started running 60+ Definitely not too late, take it slow and give it a go, listen to your body. The fact you’re already a hiker is a good start.
