Outside running

JennS19

Do you like to run on dirt paths, the street, sidewalk, grass.

What's your pleasure?

Never run on sidewalks, too uneven and easy to trip and fall.

I always run in the street towards traffic for any of my runs 5 miles or less and do trail runs for anything over 5 miles

I lik the desserted track at the high school football field down the road. But I've read that running on the hardest packed dirt/rock is still better for knees & joints than running on pavement.

I prefer the dirt of the canals around here....but usually have to settle for the pavement as I don't often get to drive to a good running place and just leave from my house.

I have 3 screws at the base of my metatarsals in my right foot (ie, right at my arch, basically), so I absolutely cannot run on pavement UNLESS I'm doing a 5K race (I use great insoles and just suck it up, then). I usually run trails through a park.
