RUNNING: WHich do you like better, road running or trail running and why?

Answer 1

Trail Running by far. Trails give you some privacy and are often more challenging. On the road you run the risk of getting guys whistling at you or people throwing stuff at you (I've had an open thing of honey mustard thrown at me) or worse, getting hit. Trails are really peaceful and calming. They give you time to think unlike running on the road with cars going by you at up words of 50 miles an hour.

Answer 2

I don't run that often, but when I do, I have found trail running more exciting.

One of my most invigorating runs started with a hike, at dawn, on a cold November day. 45 minutes to the top of Breakneck Ridge, which is right along the Hudson River, near Cold Spring, NY.
Once I reached the top, there is a different trail you can take to get down.

I ran down the mountain and fell twice due to some patches of ice and wet leaves.

I encountered some people on the way down and I think they thought I was a madman.

When I reached the bottom, my heart was pounding and I was sweating like mad (even though it was about 30 degrees out). But, I felt awesome after that; it was just such an invigorating and inspiring run.

Answer 3

Trail running, more chances to see people infront of you trip over a root.

Answer 4

road running for consistancy and speed (interval) training.

trail running for strength, balance, and technical aspects of movement.

as for adidas, they have always been short lived and shinsplint giving shoes with bad arch support. try some asics or mizunos. although for trail running, adidas does make decent stuff.

Answer 5

Personally, I prefer trail running, because it makes you work harder + its good growth in leg muscles because its cross-training, pretty much.
