Shoes are a must. The right shoes make all the difference in the world. Also don’t run on trails during the deer rut, so I normally knock off trail running from mid October until mid February. I saw a muscle bound Buck running top speed through the woods three years ago and made the decision to stay off the wooded trails during the deer rut

With trail running, form isn't as important and you don't get injured as much because every step you use your muscles in a different way

1. Announce yourself before running up on a hiker who cannot hear you coming.

what about the occasional "bump" into wildlife?

[CoreySenderson]

someone tell me what do you do if you're running on the trail that is only wide enough for one person and you see another runner going slow in front of you with headphones on?

What bag were you using during the 2nd half majority of the video? The one with 2 places for water bottles

[jamesdavis]

Tuned in for trail running motivation but your just trying to get me to buy that sucks

I hope you won't mind me saying you're an exceptionally charming young woman and this was a pleasure to watch

Well that's certainly the loosest definition of trail running. One step away from being a paved trail lol. If you need an intro into running THESE types of trails, don't ever consider actual trail runs.
