Runner's World Complete Guide to Trail Running

Runner's World Complete Guide to Trail Running Trail Running is one of the fastest growing segments in the sport of running. And it's easy to understand why: "To run on the road is a staccato one-two, one-two. Insistent. Hurried. Relentless. Once you reach the trail, footfalls become muffled, silent even, and instead you hear your breath. On the trail, the rhythm comes from a deeper place inside you--your lungs, your heart, and your head--as you hear your breath enter and leave your body. It's a slower metronome, one infintely more relaxed, than on the road."--Dagny Scott Barrios From the worldwide authority on runing,Runner's World Complete Guide to Trail Runningis the comprehensive guide to the sport.
