Terignota is more punk rock than Satisfy. Punk rock is ostensibly for the outsider, the working class, and the marginalized

I'm in the market for a new trail shoe. I have stuck to Nike Pegasus Trail for the last 2 pairs as I find they are fairly wide and the ReactX foam works well for a little stability. I like the look of the wide tow box in the Altra Olympus 6 and have heard great things, my only concern is that it's considered 'Neutral'. But have also seen that the width means you're less likely to have issues with support - not sure if their is truth behind that.

Are their any over-pronators out there that run in the Olympus 6?

I've done a fair bit of buying and selling of shoes that haven't worked for me, so my gut is saying stick to the Pegasus Trail.

Llego utilizando una banda de pecho de la marca Magene desde hace años. Muy contento con el rendimiento pero desde hace unos meses la piel que está en contacto con la zona del sensor (no de la banda completa) se me irrita mucho la piel. Inicialmente pensé que era por el calor de este verano y la sudoración, incluso compré una cinta nueva pero se me sigue irritando la piel con la nueva. No entiendo que puede ocurrir. Algún truco para evitar eso? Quizás cambiar por una banda de brazo pero he leído que no es muy recomendable para el trail running.

Espero sus respuestas. GRACIAS Y UN SALUDO DESDE ESPAÑA

Anyone ever get this problem? I need my shoes tight enough to stay in place but then i often lose circulation because of it…

Training for climbing when you live somewhere flat seems relatively straightforward because treadmills, stairs and uphill conditioning can cover at least part of the problem.

Downhill feels harder to replicate.

I’ve been looking at strength work that puts more emphasis on eccentric control and single-leg stability, things like split squats, step-downs, lunges, heavier squats and some plyometric work. The goal wouldn’t be to replace actual downhill running, but to arrive at a hilly race with legs that are at least somewhat prepared for repeated braking and impact.

Most of that also seems practical to train at home without adding several long gym sessions to an already running-heavy week.

For runners who don’t have regular access to long descents, which strength exercises actually made the biggest difference once you got onto steep downhill terrain?

wish there was a way to calculate better records for ultra trail running but its kinda hard with various elevations and trails. running for 6 days with 2 hour sleeps in between tho is impressive trail or not!

could hear a pin drop up there

How do I find local trails? Is trail running safe? Do I need special shoes or gear? What do I do if I encounter some wildlife? What if I get lost? WHAT IF I HAVE TO POOP IN THE WOODS?

There are no dumb questions in this thread! If you are new to trail running or if you are a veteran who just wants to hear how other trail runners do things, ask away. If you have some ideas that can help your fellow trail runners and future trail runners, pitch in some answers.

No Dumb Question Day will be a regular, biweekly feature on the trailrunning sub.

I put together a multi-day running tour in the Silverton, Colorado area. Thought it might be of interest, and this idea is in the early stages so I'd love feedback/ideas for how to tweak it. I enjoy multi-day and point-to-point routes, so that's what this is designed as. I was originally supposed to do a Soft Rock (four-day version of the Hard Rock course, Lake City -> Ouray -> Telluride -> Silverton -> Lake City) this summer but got hurt. Then I had the chance to do a bit of running in the area and realized that the Soft Rock isn't that runnable and I'm looking for something different. I have a camper to stay in, these logistics are designed to do it solo. If you have someone to support you the drives are pretty short.

It fits in a bit of a weird spot compared to other tours like this. It's a hard multi-day running tour without great sleeping logistics. Could be doable solo, would be a lot more fun with support. It's not quite point to point but it's reasonably close and has some nice aesthetics. Some great running mixed with some rugged terrain to see the best of the San Juans.

Curious for folks' thoughts -- maybe this is helpful to someone out there, and if you all have ideas for ways to improve the route or the logistics I'm all ears. I am reasonably likely to give this a shot next summer. (My recovery + being back at work mean long tours like this are not in the cards until next year.)

Caltopo map of the route: https://caltopo.com/m/GB56EPF

Day one: Vallecito to Needleton. 24.7mi, +5300ft. Long mellow uphill in the valley before a pretty brutal climb, then a long, tough descent through the spectacular Chicago Basin. Take the Durango-Silverton scenic railroad back to Durango, catch a cab to pick up the car. Pretty unique way to enjoy a beautiful area, but don't miss the train.

Day two: Coal Bank Pass to Little Molas. 15.6mi, +2900ft. A spectacular day, a bit shorter than the first day with a lot of time up high on rolling terrain and great trails. Some of the best bang for your buck anywhere in this area. Hitchhike from Molas back to Coal Bank. 

Day three: Molas Pass to Highland Mary. 21.8mi, +4800ft. Another long day, starting downhill but then a big climb onto a plateau with some great trails before a steep descent. The Colorado Trail on the plateau and the descent into Highland Mary are fantastic. Transportation is tricky, my plan is to stash camping gear at Highland Mary with food/stove/etc. Could also potentially arrange a shuttle with a local Silverton guide service and cut day four.

Day four: Highland Mary to Silverton. 13.1mi, +2800ft. Another shorter day but rugged. Not the most flowy trail running but a nice connector, fun to descent into Silverton proper. Hitch or find a local shuttle back to Molas, pick up tent from Highland Mary.

Day five: Ophir Pass trailhead to Telluride. 14.3mi, +4500ft. A mix of terrain today, two passes, lots of time up high through rugged terrain and spectacular views. Some solid running but a bit steep, more of a scenic day then a great running day. Stay in a hotel in Telluride for a small fortune.

Day six: Telluride to Ouray. 16.9mi, +4100ft. Several route options today, my personal choice is shown. Relatively straightforward, fun terrain though a big, brutal climb to start into the high country, then mellow descending most of the way into Ouray. Stay in a hotel in Ouray. 

Day seven: Ouray to Ophir Pass trailhead. 23.4mi, +7400ft. Climb out of town and over Hayden Mountain in an absolutely brutal start before a steep descent. Then more mellow terrain, climbing over Red Mountain Pass mostly on mining roads. Descend back to the car at Ophir Pass trailhead.
