If you're really just trying to do stuff that gets you out of your comfort zone, something

that is pushing you to the edge.

So this is a core training principle.

You get better at stuff when you go closer to what your limits already are.

Technical running is awesome because it requires all of your attention that you can't multitask

when you're doing that.

If you keep doing it, you're going to get better.

You can't prevent that from happening.

Welcome to the Trailhead of TrailRunner Nation where we go on virtual trail runs with fun

and interesting people with a lot of knowledge that hopefully we'll translate into you becoming

a better runner and maybe even a better human being.

If this is your first time buckle up, lace your shoes, we're ready to rock and roll.

And this month's training principle episode is technical trail running and we're talking

to Ian Sharman, Liza Howard, Addy Bracey and Hillary Allen, they each bring a golden nugget

so that we can learn something, take it with us on our next technical trail run and become

better trail runners.

This episode is brought to you in part by Path Projects.

They are one of my favorite partners and my favorite gear.

I'm never going to buy another pair of running shorts.

Well, they have the most innovative fabrics and the highest performing materials.

They have a business model, it's also unique, it's a 100% direct to consumer model and

what that means for you is it's the best prices without that middle man markup.
