Beginner’s Trail Running Training Plan. Of the trails, this is the plan for you. Although this training requires no. To Marathon With This Training Plan.

Fixing A Broken Tooth With A Filling more. The two big issues for me are: 1) hills (or probably more accurately around here, 'mountains') The elevation gain is a killer. My advice is to practice a lot of inclines, trying out jogging, running and power walking on the uphills. The last trail race I did (malibu creek 22k), I power walked a lot on the uphills and didn't lose that much ground/time. I'd also focus on the downhills, seeing how fast you can run them, safely and without burning up your legs and energy. 2) highly technical terrain: rocks, sand, roots, streams, cactus/poison oak, uneven ground. If you've already done a lot of hiking, you're probably familiar with this stuff, it's just coming at you faster.

If you find a trail marathon training plan, pls post it. I'd be interested in what it says. Answered over 6 years ago •. Depending upon the terrain a pair of trail shoes might be advisable (I wear Inov8 but have just moved to Merrel Trail Glove).

For a trail marathon with lots of hills I'd recommend walking hard and fast up hill, but don't run, you'll need your energy! If I was to compare Road marathon with Trail I'd say: - Scenery and challenge is better on trail that road marathon but you don't have the crowds cheering you on to - You won't get an PBs on a trail marathon: I'd add 30-45 minutes onto your normal marathon time depending upon the terrain Good luck!

You'll need to develop your plan according to the profile. DV was up for 12 and down for 14.

Catalina was a lot of up and down. Both were on fire road with very little single track. Key principles: 1. Focus on improving your core and stability muscles - planks, squats, lunges will help you absorb the extra stress of downhill running. Plyometrics & Stability exercises will help you to avoid injury and develop your power.

If you don't have many trails, consider cross training (jump rope & in-line skating are two great ones) 2. Form is critical. There's a lot to be found on running up hill, but I think downhill is hard to master.

People tend to overstride & race. If your race is a lot of up and down you'll be wasted halfway through the marathon (speaking from experience) unless downhill is all you have left. Trail marathoners tend to focus on an even level of effort instead of pace. Like Pete said, don't be afraid to walk uphill or take short steps downhill to preserve your level of intensity.

Consider your level of support. Where are the aid stations? 5 miles apart? During DV I had to stop at each station to drink/eat and throw my trash away (we're in a national park). I practiced my long runs just like the race. Got me used to stopping and starting again. Add 4-5 weeks to your training schedule.
