I drove about 30 miles South to Stonewall Resort State Park in Roanoke, West Virginia to run on the trail system there. I much prefer trail running to road running. Here are the reasons why:
1. Scenery
Trail running tends to take you to more remote areas which are normally very scenic.
2. Peace & Quiet
Trail running gets you away from traffic and people. Something everybody needs every now and then.
3. A Softer Landing
Landing on a softer surface is easier on your body and feels much better than landing on paved areas.
4. Don’t Worry About Pace
Trail running is more about enjoying the experience rather than finishing as fast as you can
5. Community
Trail running people are a great group to be a part of.
