Road Running vs. Trail Running
In some ways, comparing road running to trail running is like comparing apples to oranges; it’s nearly impossible to do. After all, the similarities are quite limited, while the differences are, to say the least, wide ranging.
Like apples and oranges, they each offer a considerable amount of benefits. Yet, at the same time, it is important to be cautious of potential negatives. Simply put, like nearly everything—even eating apples and oranges—moderation is key.
Just as you relish the benefits of preparing your apples and oranges—cleanliness, vitamins, tastefulness—if you take your time to enhance the positives of road and trail running, while also learning about the possible negatives, you’ll reap success before, during and after your next marathon.
