More reasons trail runs in the forest are great include, when running within the forest, the trees are pumping out oxygen, not CO2 as happens adjacent to motorways, so it's better for your lungs, your brain, and your whole body, everything that is dependent upon having oxygen to operate. Also, there's evidence that scents of the forest reduce stress, and that being in the forest may trigger certain biological responses such as a lowering of blood pressure, boosting the production of serotonin, and boosting of the immune system. And as you stated, each foot placement and foot strike is different so you're building stronger connective tissues in the feet, ankles, knees, and hips. And this avoids repetitive stresses associated with running on uniform hard surfaces, that becomes more acute as we age. Last... it's way way more fun, ignore your pace, and just run for the joy of running, it's like being a kid again.

Humans don’t need that much oxygen. The air is mostly nitrogen. R u high ?

I definitely agree with your point about slowing down and enjoying the view from time to time. I've discovered so many wonderful trails around where I live (Helsinki) as a result of not focusing on pace or distance. Running can be so much fun if you take the pressure off yourself.

Great stuff Sarah!

Just what I was looking for. Especially, how to find trails and the tip about socks! Thanks!

Awesome video! Thank you so much for taking the “edge” off getting onto the trails. And I like what you said about no one caring about your pace on Strava👍🏻😃👊🏻

Very good vid, sound advices, solid content. Keep them coming.

Great video Sarah - loving the smile and thumbs up after each tip 😊👍🏼

Excellent video full of great tips! Looks like you had great fun filming it. Nice one, Sarah 👍🏼

Thank you so much. This was super helpful x

This was a really helpful video Sarah, loads of useful information. I will be hitting the trails soon in my local area now I know about LDWA. Thank you :)

Those are great tips. You have some cool areas to run in. Keep up the great videos.

What a great video, thank you. I'm just starting my journey and absolutely loving it and the community.

Really enjoyed your tips on running my first ultra, I've done a 32 miles, planning to do my 50 mile run on my 50th birthday this August 2021, greetings from San Francisco California...

Great video Sarah. I'd agree with those tips for the most part. Keep up the good work.

Another great informative video, Admire your passion for running. 👍

Very helpful, thanks!

Great video Sarah, your tips are really helpful... Keep it going, the nerves will soon disappear 👍

Sarah, these videos are a really good strong start to the channel, seems you're a complete natural at this, and great editing! This channel will grow pretty quickly I reckon! Great tips, and brilliantly delivered. Keep up the awesome work and promoting trail running, one of the very best soul fuel activities....

I really needed this. Thanks Sarah.

Thank you Sara for all your advices and informations. That’s really helpful. 🙏💕✌️

Great hints...I always tend to look always on my pace even for trail running.. it's better to ignore it definitely take some time to take a short break and enjoy the scenery. 👍

Thx sarah for great tips

Very engaging and informative video! Subscribed, and looking forward to following the channel as you add content!

I wish one day I fall in love with trail running!! But thanks a bunch for the nudge. Will start sneaking them in to my training.

Thanks for the useful tips, Sarah!

Wow, brand new channel on running, awesome! I haven’t had much interest in trail running in the past, but now that you’ve made a video for beginners, may give it a try some day. Thank you.

Thank you for making this helpful video, I am new to trail running and so nervous to try and find some as I am used to just running out of the front door on road runs. I am excited to get going! x

Definitely an important tip to stay safe out there! Enjoy everyone! Thanks Sarah

Good tips thank you for sharing

Great to see my local trails! Almost impossible not to love trail running when the North Downs Way is on your doorstep. Thanks for the videos Sarah, found them via Ben via FMR/R4A, you're all inspiring me to push further and get out more. The dream would be the AoA as I absolutely love running the coast path, just not sure I have the mental toughness to push through the pain like you guys can! It's amazing what some people are able to do, and it's always really helpful seeing that it's not easy for anyone, but that you can push yourselves beyond what you thought possible.

really useful thank you Sarah.

Got to say, great vide! Been road running for ages and I’ve been wanting to get into trail running for while and with the info on where to find the best routes, it’s going to be a fun weekend! Thanks

Very useful video thanks Sarah, I admire you for all your trail running and the effort you put on top of those super difficult runs to document and spread the joy of the sport. Keep going ❤💪🏻🙂

Really nice video. Loved it.

What a great video, thank you! Keen to try TR but nervous to! This was helpful thank you.

Spot on tips 👌🏻

Great advice Sarah. Thanks for sharing!

Brilliant video - love trail running - I live near to Wendover Woods in the Chiltern Hills so lots of amazing places to run - would love to see videos on nutrition and running - increasing your speed and strength training for running (plus best stretches) - great channel - excited to see what is ahead 👍

Thank you Sarah!

Loved your video!

Great Video, just moving from long distance hikes to running 😄 , it's killing me . Keep the videos coming.

Looking forward to putting this into practice in the next few weeks :) I've got Man vs Mountain in Snowdon in just over a month, I've been totally a paved runner with prepping for marathons so hitting trails is going to be an interesting challenge. Great video, Sarah!

Love the content and your confidence in front of the camera increasing, would be nice to have your opinion on the shoes you run in and why

Excellent video. Thanks!

Just takes us on your journey, running is joyful and any topic that you consider useful is good for everyone. Experience is the best teacher. Good video Sarah. 👍🏼 see you in the next one! 😁

Hi I`m new to the channel and loving it. Almost as much as trail running. Cheers great video.

Awesome video Sarah👏👏👏💪💪💪👍👍🙂♥️...keep up the good work 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Great vlog ... thank you 👍🏻

Very cool and relaxing video! Thanks for the info.

Wonderful vid - thank you for sharing !!! I sleep so well after a good trail run and mental health is at its peak.

Thanks this is super helpful, brought my first pair of trail shoes this morning! Im relieved to find out walking up hill is not considered a failure 😁😬

Thanks for sharing the useful tips. Am just getting into trials after watching alot of stuff on UTMB. Not sure if I could do a 100 miler but there is something beautiful about running off road. We done in and around Virginia Waters over the weekend which was spectacular!

Thanks! I have my 1st 15 mile race tomorrow so stoked. Subbed !

Helpful. Just starting out with trail running here

new to trail running and loved this video, subscribed.

Love this!

That was good timing on the part of the algorithm, throwing this channel into my recommendations. I’m in the process of switching from road to trails (pending recovery from a heel injury) and I’d just run out of Harry Jones vids to watch, so I was in need of another source of motivation.

Thank you for the approachable commentary! I’m just getting back into running at age 65 and it helps to find an encouraging guide.

I'm getting into trail running and this is my first video to learn about it! Thanks :).

Great Videos Sarah ! Regards from Mexico 👍

I am new; starting this year. Thank you.

I grew up at the base of the pilgrims way in Maidstone and spent many hours running and cycling along it. Great memories.

So easy to look at

This was super useful! Thank you :)

I was so happy to hear you mention that the pace will be slower and you can relax into the run. I think I’ve become obsessed by the Strava minutes per mile, even if I’ve run across a very muddy and waterlogged field. I think I just need to forget about it during trail runs.

I used to follow routes on my watch but now i find it more fun and adventurous to set coordinates on an older gps device and use a compass to get to those specific locations.

You seem personable and have good screen presence, you are going to be a hit channel, keep making videos regularly.

well done, thank you

The navigation device advice is really important, especially when you are planning to do long runs (marathon/ultra marathon distances).

Great tips been trail running for a year or so loved the sock tip ALWAYS getting grit in socks as only ever worn low running socks!! and the pace thing valid point, i'am always comparing to others probably flat runs and wondering why so different poorer thanks

Subscribing because of your “Trail running for beginners” video. More of a hiker, not a runner but I admire you guys so much and dream of being a part of that culture 👟👟

New to the sport… and your video told me exactly what I wanted to hear. I have only run 1x 50k and I was self conscious about needing to walk. Nice to hear it’s ok / encouraged to walk up hills. Truly a humbling experience and very fun culture. Can’t wait. I’m subscribed and playing catch-up on your videos. UTMB is the goal. 36 years old and I think the speed years are behind me.

Lovely video. I'm off all round Guildford and North downs way tomorrow and certainly seemed to recognise the views and paths in this video.

Love you dropped a bit of country music at the end 👨🏼‍🌾👍🏻

Thanks for the heatmap tip!

After running an hour in the cold, wet dark this morning, your sunny attitude couldn‘t be more welcome. Also, great tip, I honestly never gave a single thought about my socks... it makes perfect sense, of course... Thanks! Greetings from the Bavarian Alps.

Hi I'm running my very first trail race this Sunday. It's a 10 mile trail race, in South Derbyshire, brooksies bash. I was looking at doing a pb as my 10 mile pb is 1hr 28. But I think I will completely forget that, with the heat this weekend..and the hills. You have answered all my questions..thanks.

Hey! Nice job! I really like what you do and I follow you with interest. I can't wait for the next video...

Fantastic presentation.

Thank you. Great tips! I run quiet alot but never tried trail running. Just got my trail shoes and will be doing my first run tomorrow. I'm 10 min from epping forest and can't wait to run it as I normally walk it with my little boy.

Yes another video!!!!

I’ve just picked up my first proper pair of trail shoes and took them on some fairly technical stuff yesterday. Saucony Mad River TR. I love being in the forest, in tune with nature, and yeah the pace just doesn’t matter at all.

I’m glad you mentioned Epping forest it’s so nice there
