@@cohenalthoffyou may have to go through a few sets to figure it out. I found for myself, my road/treadmill shoe is the Brooks Ghost, and for trails the Brooks Cascadia 17’s without the Gortex lining. I tried Nikes, Asics, puma, you name it and those are the ones that have felt the best without giving fatigue/blisters.
@@bakerstreet7050 completely understand where you are coming from having a knee injury. Personally I find taking my time and sticking to the softer ground makes it easier.
Hill runners maintain fitness levels longer after abruptly stopping running so trail runners may have an advantage there unless you’re doing lots of hills on the road.
Interesting. All of the trail runners I know mix in road races, especially a road marathon as a tune up race for a 50k or 50 miler, but alternatively road runners may not run trail races at all. That's not to say they don't train on trails.
I focus on (ultra)trail-races, but I also make sure that I have a flat workout (track or street) once a week, typically an threshold workout + I try to race 1-2 (flat) road races a year, one shorter e.g 10k and one longer road race like a half marathon, just to make sure I train speed, tempo and threshold that will make me stronger on the trails why I usually don't have time to do this work since I spent a lot of time on hill repeats or long runs 🤞🏼
I think trail runners have a more muscular build, which helps with power-focused uphills and decreasing the impact of gruelling downhills. It does make them more heavy, though... Road running is more focused on efficiency (marathon distance), and excessive muscle building hinders this.
Road running you have the danger of being stuck by a vehicle. Running the trail you have the possibility of being eaten by an animal. Sorry of subject… proceed
Love trail running but its just much easier to hit the road most days
Agreed, I hope to do more. It’s why I joined XC in the first place.
What’s a good shoe for it
Strength and stamina ,speed 🚅🚅🚅

I prefer trail running because for me it is more challenging and the gear is just cool 😂
I find running trail is much easier on my knees
how... I come back to road becouse downhill kills my knees every time...

Trail running is harder than road running because road is a smooth surface with lower friction
Downhill on longer runs can really put you through pain…
Agree! Road running is very hard on my knees. Might be the shoes, though?
I love trail running but most trails around me are 30-45 minutes away unfortunately. When I can trail run, I use it to add variety in my training.
The real difference is probably on the downhill (often overlooked)

For me trail running is difficult to do (live in a city) but when I can get out on the trails I love it.

It also is enduring (trail) vs peak performance (road)
I prefer trail running as there are more reasons to slow down and enjoy the nature surrounding hence making the run more enjoyable.
running on a trail makes it a lot more slippery and slows me down, requiring more energy
road running is boring
Do both and treadmill once a week so you can do specific intervals
Trails is a go for me now
Awesome stuff Jeremy!
I prefer trail running because it feels better to do so. While running on pavement activates my old splint shin injury and thus give me more pain.
Anything over 2 hours on the road destroys my feet. Trails are just more fun as well
Cool you guys are are hill, road, and trail runners. While I trained on the side of volcano's crater
trail running is so much more fun for me, but it's obviously much easier to find, and run on the road
i wish i could run trail more often, unfortunately where i live the forest is populated by bears and wild boars so its not safe :(
Ngl studies like this are some of the worst accuracy wise, simply because different people have different strength
Trail running is way more fun. Running on dirt is easier on my joints too. Plus there is nothing like barefoot running thru the forest!
Simple explanation
I do both. Personally, I enjoy trail running.
Nice video!! 👍
I think XC is definitely the best and most exciting. I like road running too, though.
Bro said a whole lot of nothing 😂
isnt cement running hell on the body????????
Trail running is stimulating for me - I will travel to run, and look forward to it. The road is not as "fun".
Id choose trail everyday except the road runs right up to the house and I have to run 10k to get to the trails
There's chance of pizza at Trail Ultra aid station. Trail is better.
I only run on the road to get to the next trail or forrest road
Trail can help you get off pavement and not get injured.
Trails bro!
very interesting
I try not to run on concrete and pavement... yawn. I need to run up and down mountain trails.
Good video👍

90% trails
Ever encounter any snakes?
Never. I go to trail a bit after sunrise or 2 hrs before sunset. I avoid trail if temp above 80
I have. A baby rattlesnake in Bishop CA
Thanks for nothing
Do not care
Well no fucking shit
