Off-Road Running: Good for You or an Injury Risk?

Is training off-road good for you, or does it put you at risk of injury? John Brewer and Paul Larkins dig into trail, grass and cross country running for older runners on Seasoned Strides, the podcast about running at an older age. In this episode: Is off-road running kinder on your body than pavement, or does uneven ground raise your injury risk? Can softer surfaces help you train more often as you get older? What are the pros and cons of trails, grass and cross country compared with road running? Are you more Jakob Ingebrigtsen or Paul Larkins? Which training approach suits you? Whether you’re a veteran runner, a masters athlete or returning to running later in life, this is a conversation on staying healthy so you can keep running for years.
