Ran my first ever trail run today, local trail half marathon. Very different to the road running I’ve gotten used to since focusing properly on it from last September. Couldn’t have gotten a better day for it too!
As it was a total unknown for me, I went with what I know - gel on the start line and every 30 mins, 1 litre of water in a hydration vest. 21.4km and 670m elevation in 2 hours 12 minutes. I was surprised that the faster guys just ran with the shirt on their backs, no water, no nutrition. These guys are a different breed!
