I have hundreds of miles of challenging dirt roads to run on right out my door. I kind of prefer the roads (the dirt roads are very quiet and super hilly)to single track. I've been wanting to run more trails but I think I'll wait until after Chicago. I don't think technical single track is good for a fast marathon on flat pavement. Maybe once in a while as a recovery run, but doing too much would kill your ability to run at a specific effort/ pace. A flat fast marathon is about repetition of movement in a very specific way. On single track you never are able to settle in to a rhythm for an extended period of time. Once in a while it's ok, but I wouldn't run a majority of miles on trails.Luchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992289866901355978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857054182085881319.post-82983332038919409582009-09-11T13:57:36.477-06:002009-09-11T13:57:36.477-06:00Lucho, how often do you run on trails, and how roc...Lucho, how often do you run on trails, and how rocky/difficult are the trails that you frequent? Do you find that trail running helps your open marathon running at all? I would imagine it would make a runner stronger. I would be interested in your thoughts (maybe you've written about it already?).<br /><br />We just moved to Colorado Springs after living in NYC for 12 years. The difference in running terrain is night and day (in such a good way!), but I am discovering that running here is definitely more of a challenge because the trails are very rocky. Aside from the hit to my ego (going from running easy at 7:30m/m in NYC to 8:30m/m+ in CS is humbling!) I love it here!Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17312103143119542166noreply@blogger.com
