One of the draws to trail running is the ability to just get out there. Out into the mountains, forests, countryside, whatever your chosen environment. It’s easy... you can just put on your shoes and go, which is probably why we’ve seen the sport increase in popularity over the past couple of years.

So, the last thing we want to do is take the romantism away from you - the fun and thoughtlessness it brings. But we also want you to be able to keep doing it and keep reaching you’re goals, and in order to achieve this there is a certain level of mindfulness and consideration that needs to be applied. 

Today Kriss discusses four particular areas that you should be considering, regardless of how far and how fast you want to go: 

- Sighting ability - Listening to your footstep - Climbing and descending - Running in the dark
