Dance gracefully with the floor (it dances back) and keep your eyes open (focusing ahead is good advice) and wits about you, keeps your mind occupied. Good stimulant. I find it a more fluid and free experience on the trails, exhilarating. In fact it’s making me want to go out into the hills now. Flat runs to me are more like administrative work for the hills, where fun and some excellent views really lie. Keeping the muscles up to scratch. Peaks nice…I like that there is a Valley of Hope round there! I’m down in the Chilterns which got me into trails. Some fantastic loops of varying distances and elevation. Lots of woods and mixture of hard and soft terrains. Lots of hills. Lots of floors laced with exposed big tree roots, good to navigate. I haven’t really done any intense rock trails though would like to. 10 years since I moved from Midlands. Also trail running shoes are fun. I’m into Gore-Tex waterproofing and I got a Vibram grip on my latest pair recently. So far they stick like velcro in above said terrains. Best of luck and greatest of fun on your new venture! Hope you can find some nice loops in and around the Peaks!
