Trail running is the best!!! Inused ti be a road runner for years once I tasted dirt, never went back! now I am the ninja on the mountains thanks to trail running.
I started trail running back in late 2019 and haven't looked back since. Started with short runs around 3 miles and now run at least 8-10 miles each time regardless of the weather (except in thunder storms though). The right kit is really important - especially in the colder months.
I was forced to the road because of the gas shortage this week and each run drained me more than the one before. I am returning to the mountains tomorrow. Thank goodness.
Ahhhh I want to go run!! We have had the coldest time here, -30 C and colder with winds. Tomorrow it is meant to warm up to -2! That will be feeling tropical! Beautiful video! ❤️ from 🇨🇦❄️❄️❄️
This video story is simply beautiful in many aspects. You guys do embrace LIFE. I always hated running, but now I am off to go get a pair of pro trail running shoes.
Best thing I did in 2018 was go to trail running. Just glad I went for the Goretex version of the Speedcross 4’s 👍 Just enjoying the views in different seasons as the year rolls by
Great video on how to start trail running, and showing age is no barrier, Just done my first trail run tonight with Muddy Roads, it was very enjoyable, Plus side there was pie & peas when we finished 👍🏻
So I am interested in trail running because the word running is the common movement we all lost in recent centuries. I run for my hobbies and for my health. Then I'm also a outdoor enthusiast and a avid illustrator. To which I would like to say exploring places by my own foot and manually generated transportation to enhance my health and visualization. At first I done my running on treadmill slowly and progressively running outside. I'm running on a road because I'm an city guy. But I wish to get the foundations mastered to running on trail.
That is a wonderful video Claire, Well Done! Pleasure with health benefits is a winning combo that I think many will relate to. And I enjoyed the simple and straightforward notion of - get some grippy shoes, enjoy yourself, and enjoy the cake.
That’s a really well put together video and a lovely feel to it too! We’re coming from similar angles; trying to get more people out there. I really enjoyed that. Good luck for the future. Maybe I’ll catch you out there on the trails sometime!
Only recently found your channel (and Facebook page) - lots of very interesting and helpful content, all presented in a very easy to understand way. Thank you :)
It is my rest day today but can't wait to hit the trails tomorrow morning again. The only thing I hate is dog owners with out of control dogs. Maybe that could be a good video topic- How to defend against a dog attack.
With the current covid19 pandemic, now is the time to learn and get good at trail running. It's gets you away from all the people. I jog at a hilly park and all the walkers and runners strive to stay on the pavement areas of the narrow sidewalks and the narrow roads of the park. It gets crowded with people trying to walk and run right next to each other on the pavement. Little do they know that waking and running on the soil and grassy hills of the park gives you a better workout due to the variation of movements and less stress on the joints. Also, off topic, but can anyone share what Inov jacket the first woman who speaks to the camera is wearing in the video?. I am in the USA so I am not too familiar with that brand.
Lovely video - just shared it on the Hampshire Hoppit trail running FB page to help our new trail runners that are considering the Hoppit trail marathon or trail half marathon on 9 June 2019. We have 915 followers so should be a fair amount of interest. Would be lovely to see you at the Hoppit 2019 yourself Claire, maybe?
Nice video but it didn’t really explain all you need to know. The first four minutes told me I’ll lose weight and de-stress. I’m 8 1/2 stone and very chilled. The remaining three minutes said get some grippy shoes and start running. So is that really all I need to know?
Howdie, and a warm welcome to you! The significance of that 17st of weight depends on how tall you are and your body type, but if you are concerned about putting pressure on your joints when running I would recommend losing the weight via walking and healthy eating before starting to run a great deal. You could start with the free NHS couch to 5k app which guides you through it with a walk-run approach. Good luck and let us know how you get on! YOU CAN DO THIS!!!! Claire
@@wildgingerruns Hi Claire, many thanks, I'm 6 ft and actually do alot of cycling, both road and off-road, and wanted to mix it up. I've actually decided to start walk run and build it up. Many thanks Wayne
Nice one, well if you have any queries, google them and type Wild Ginger Running also in the search box, and any info I have on that topic should come up to help you :) Have a blast! Claire
Watched this again and really do get inspired by it, I may pinch the idea to promote my Trail Running Club (Hengoed Harriers) and make a video hmmm, not to the same quality of course
I'm based in the East Midlands too, what are some trails worth visiting that are somewhat nearby? Thinking of checking out the Summer Leys nature reserve. And then, further out, there's obviously the Peak District but that's not as easy a visit.
@@wildgingerruns I'm in Wellingborough, but willing to go anywhere in or near Northants, just interested in the quality/beauty of the trail really. I'll have a look at Rutland, and thanks for the race tip.
An almost impossible question to answer, but as an experienced hill walker, cyclist and schoolboy [15th century it fees like!] sprinter would it be wise for me to start my running doing trail running as opposed to road type running?
I can’t stand road running since I started trail running in Scotland! You can’t beat clean air and the sound of nature 👌
Nice user name brother! I’m
From Falmouth 😊👊🏼

Perfect example of why Trails are fabulous and how varied the people are that love the sport. It’s the best thing ever x
Awesome film!! Love the mix of ages, just shows everybody can run trails and get more from them than pavement plodding :)

Amazing, this is great Stussy!

Amazing! Enjoy!
1: Put on running shoes. 2: Go to a trail or forrest. 3: Run.
Simples 😂

Great video Claire really love seeing everyone running together. Love this esp the footage

Great video, I REALLY wish I had a group to run with... once covid is under control that's my first priority!
Aw thanks KB! Glad you like this one, and fab how you are working your way through the WGR archive!
Love it Claire, just shared on my twitter #gottalovethetrails
Nice to hear from some of your local runners aswell! Trail is best 😎😉
I personally enjoy both road and trail running. I find that if i only stick to one i get bored so i mix it up as they both got their own specificities
Nice job on this video Claire - different sort of format but it works well love seeing everyone out there running together.
That’s a great idea!!! I can’t wait to see more

Inspiring stories!
Great video's! You realy are giving me nice ideas for my own channel about trailrunning in the Netherlands!
@@wildgingerruns . thanks Claire! We'll do!

This is awsome film really inspirational!😀
Really keen to start up trail running, but at 17 st everyone tells me I’m to heavy, although I always will be if I don’t start trying to shed more

Well done. I hope it inspires loads of people to get out and give it a go. ;-)
Shared on the TAUR group on Facebook. Hopefully that will bring you some more subscribers ;-)
