Just wondering everyone's opinion on this.

Which is easier? Trail running or pavement?

    I haven't tried trail running, just the roads and the treadmill. I'll have to try the trails when I get an opportunity.

    I LOVE trail running, even though when I did it last year I could only go for a few minutes before walking lol. I can't wait for the snow to melt so I can get back to it, and really do it this time.

    I found running off road easier on the knees/feet because the ground was softer, and there was far more to look at and keep me interested, but the trail I was on goes way down hill, down stairs, over a creek, and back up with again, so its not a really easy place to run. Or even walk. The pavement is easier because its fairly level and theres no danger of falling into a creek or getting eaten by a bear....

    Trail! I love it, it keeps my mind interested and makes the run go by quickly. The added bonuses are that I can have my dog with me and at the end my shins don't hurt!

    I think getting eaten by a bear would be excellent motivation to run fast. :laugh:
