- Have you ever wondered about this relatively new sport that is everywhere? Trail running has become super popular and every major brand is coming out with equipment, shoes or other gear for your trail run. But what is TRAIL RUNNING? HOW do you trail run? What to consider before and while trail running?
In this video I hike and run up a local mountain in Salzburg, Austria and give you tips and tricks for your first or next trail run.
Let me know in the comments if I should take part in the Trailrunning Festival in Salzburg or try to run a new Half-Marathon PB! I would love to know what you guys are thinking!

Thank you for your insights! Just got started with trail running and Im hooked, love it! Will follow your channel for more tips and inspiration🤩
Hey!! Thanks a lot! I’m glad you like the sport :) it’s really great to get out there! Will bring out more videos soon!
Thank you for sharing your experiences in training for trail running and tips.
Glad you liked it! Hope it helps 💪
Cool tips with your video! Thanks!
Great tips! Running in nature is THE BEST.
This time last year I was logging 8-15 mile runs, but I let my habits go and now I'm building back up from 1-2 miles! Heh.
Welcome back!! Always good to start slow and ease back into it :) Good luck!!
Same, I have the annoying habit of taking the winters off, and having to rebuild every spring. I'm trying to break that cycle, to see how far I can progress. Best wishes!
Needed this! Soooo want to get into trail running. Thanks for the tips :)
Glad you found this helpful! Enjoy the trails :))
I love running uphill and taking the flats as rest areas
Nice! I love running downhill :)
These were great tips - Thank you!
Glad you found them helpful! Have fun on the trails :))
Thanks for the tips. I have the same kind of shoes and vest as you 👍🏻 Training for my first ultra in May. I did hill repeats yesterday. They are a killer! 😄🏃♂️
That's great! Yes, they are rough, but totally worth it. :) Good luck on your ultra!
This was great thank you.
Glad you liked it! Hopefully it helped :)
Thank you ! Very informative
Glad you found it helpful :)) have fun on the trails!
Great video! Just found your channel. I've always loved trails, but officially gave up roads in 2020 when I trained for my first ultra. I'd rather hit my treadmill than the roads now. Looking forward to more videos!
Thanks a lot!! Trails are awesome :)) More videos are coming 👍
Good stuff! Thanks for sharing your tips. Started trailrunning on my recent vacation in Réunion. And the country is perfect for it! Sadly I live in a flat country (NL), wish to move somewhere where I can make this a weekly routine :)
I’m glad you liked the vid! Yes it’s fun to live close to the mountains if you enjoy outdoor activities! Hope you make it to Austria one day! Thanks for commenting :)
@@chris.schmied thanks, I'd like to come there again 😃 great scenery in the video also
That looks to be a fantastic place to be running. Best wishes from Lancashire, England.
Thanks man, it's quite alright here :)
Great video, thanks
Glad you liked it !! :)
Go for the half-marathon PB! Would love to see your improvement in only a few months 💪🏼
Working on it!
Thank you for sharing ☺️ it's my first time to join a trail run this coming march 19, 2023 and I'm so excited and a little bit nervous. Hoping i can finish a 13KM run 🙏
Wow, that's great! Being a little nervous is part of the game, but I'm sure you'll rock this! Good luck on your run! 👏
This is Very good for starting Trail Running
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
Havent gotten to do trail running yet unfortunately, but very good video for beginners :)
Glad you liked the video! Hopefully you can try it someday! Its a lot of fun!
im sometimes the opposite in that its funnest for me to run on the most challenging parts
I know what you mean. I know some people that love the difficult parts.
I actually run 1 mile up the mountains , and I do 2 raps so that's probably 2miles .
Thanks for video I learnt something.
Glad to hear! Keep pushing :)
Good trail running video, don't push too hard and watch your step
Thanks a lot! Yes, don’t want to get injured 😉
Cool video, Chris!
What shoes would you recommend for these kind of runs? I have the adidas ultraboost. Regular running shoes too risky? Or do you recommend trail running shoes?
Thanks for commenting. Definitely recommend trail running shoes for the mountain. Their outer soles have the grip you need when it gets slippery. I have used regular running shoes on light trails though.
@@chris.schmied noted. Thanks! :)
Taten sagen mehr als Worte
Immer :)
What is the location you were running in the video?
Gaisberg, Salzburg. There a a lot of trails there. You can also take a bus to the top.
How to survive long steep descend?
I’m trying to figure that out as well. Practicing quick downhills and focusing on technique helps a lot. ( careful on the downhills, you can get injured quickly )
Strengthening your quads in the gym is also good.
Hope this helps!
Do you lift weights sir or just pure running?
2-3 months of the year I go to the gym to train legs. Usually before I do an ultra marathon.
As a therian who can’t do quads cause of over flexible shoulders and weak wrists trail running makes me feel free
Amazing what trail running can do! Enjoy every moment and have fun on the trails. :)
Woah how did your calves get so big, i want to have big calves too
Lots of hiking I guess. I also train my calves in the gym.
Jump on a truck tyre like Muay-thai figters do in Thailand.
