Als ich bei dieser Veranstaltung aus dem Auto stieg, f\u00fchlte ich mich wie ein Kind, das an seinem ersten Schultag die Kleiderordnung nicht beachtet hat. Es gab Gruppen von Leuten, die mit Trinkrucks\u00e4cken, langen Kompressionssocken, Schirmen und Elektrolytgels herumliefen. Da ich schon eine Handvoll Halbmarathons hinter mir habe, dachte ich, dass ich durch das Sammeln von Kilometern auf der Stra\u00dfe in guter Form sein w\u00fcrde.

Ich brauchte nicht nur mindestens eine Stunde l\u00e4nger als f\u00fcr die gleiche Strecke auf der Stra\u00dfe, sondern verbrachte auch die n\u00e4chsten zwei Tage mit Kopfschmerzen und sehr steifen Beinen.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Trotz meines schwierigen Einstiegs ins Trailrunning war ich bald s\u00fcchtig.<\/strong> Es ist der ultimative Endorphin-Sport: die Kombination aus der Erkundung der sch\u00f6nsten Natur und dem zus\u00e4tzlichen Vorteil des Hochgef\u00fchls nach dem Training.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Worin unterscheidet sich das Trailrunning also vom Stra\u00dfenlauf?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Zun\u00e4chst einmal m\u00fcssen Sie wissen, dass Sie nicht immer laufen werden. Bei steilen Anstiegen ist es energieeffizienter, zu Fu\u00df zu gehen, was eine willkommene Abwechslung sein kann. Es kann auch Abschnitte mit technischen Hindernissen geben, auf denen es besser ist, langsam zu laufen, um das Verletzungsrisiko zu verringern, w\u00e4hrend Sie sich \u00fcber Baumwurzeln und unter umgest\u00fcrzten \u00c4sten hindurch schl\u00e4ngeln. W\u00e4hrend die weicheren Oberfl\u00e4chen beim Trailrunning zu weniger sto\u00dfbedingten Verletzungen f\u00fchren, bedeutet die Mischung aus Stop\/Start-Tempo und unebenem Boden, dass Sie h\u00f6chstwahrscheinlich mehr Zeit auf Ihren F\u00fc\u00dfen verbringen werden. Dies wirkt sich nicht nur auf die Art und Weise aus, wie Sie trainieren, sondern erh\u00f6ht auch die Menge an Kohlenhydraten, Elektrolyten und Wasser, die Sie w\u00e4hrend des Laufs ben\u00f6tigen.<br\/>\n<br\/>Nichts am Trailrunning ist besonders einfach, also sollte es auch Ihr Training nicht sein. Es ist wichtig, die <strong>eine Kombination aus Ausdauer und Kraft<\/strong> und gleichzeitig die F\u00e4higkeit, sich in unebenem Gel\u00e4nde unter Erm\u00fcdung zurechtzufinden. Viele Stra\u00dfenl\u00e4ufer scheitern auf Trails an der schieren Belastung der Gelenke bei steilen Anstiegen und unebenen Abfahrten.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Die 5 besten Trainingstipps<\/strong> um Sie auf die Herausforderung eines Trails vorzubereiten.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Kardiovaskul\u00e4re Fitness - bauen Sie den Motor auf.<\/strong>\nZun\u00e4chst m\u00fcssen Sie eine solide Herz-Kreislauf-Basis aufbauen. Bauen Sie Ihre Fitness durch eine Mischung aus langen L\u00e4ufen und Treppentraining auf. Achten Sie darauf, dass Sie fr\u00fch genug mit dem Training beginnen, so dass Sie Ihre Strecke nie um mehr als 10% pro Woche steigern, um Verletzungen durch \u00dcbertraining zu vermeiden.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Gel\u00e4ndespezifisch - auf dem Trail.<\/strong>\nF\u00fcr ein m\u00f6glichst effektives Training sollten Sie so viel Zeit wie m\u00f6glich auf Strecken verbringen, die dem Ereignis \u00e4hnlich sind.<strong> Noch besser:<\/strong> laufen Sie Streckenabschnitte f\u00fcr Ihr Training, damit Sie wissen, was auf Sie zukommt und wo Sie sich anstrengen m\u00fcssen. Das Training auf Trails f\u00f6rdert auch die Stabilit\u00e4t Ihrer Gelenke und verringert das Verletzungsrisiko.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Versuchen Sie es:<\/strong> Wandern, eine gro\u00dfartige Alternative zum Laufen, wenn Sie eine l\u00e4ngere Strecke zur\u00fccklegen m\u00f6chten, ohne sich dabei zu verausgaben.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Krafttraining - weniger Verletzungen.<\/strong>\nUm mit h\u00fcgeligem und unebenem Gel\u00e4nde zurechtzukommen, ist Krafttraining ein wichtiger Bestandteil des Trainings f\u00fcr einen Trailrun. \u00dcbungen, die sich auf die Entwicklung der Rumpfkraft und der Kraft der einzelnen Beine konzentrieren (bulgarische Kniebeuge oder Ausfallschritt), f\u00f6rdern die Stabilit\u00e4t und verringern das Verletzungsrisiko. Kr\u00e4ftigung verbessert auch die Lauf\u00f6konomie, was zu h\u00f6herer Geschwindigkeit und muskul\u00e4rer Ausdauer f\u00fchrt.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Stabilit\u00e4t und Gleichgewicht - auf den Beinen bleiben.<\/strong>\nDie h\u00e4ufigste Verletzung bei Traill\u00e4ufern ist ein verstauchter Kn\u00f6chel. Das ist keine \u00dcberraschung. \u00dcbungen, die den Kn\u00f6chel st\u00e4rken und das Gleichgewicht f\u00f6rdern, helfen Ihnen, Verletzungen zu vermeiden. Beginnen Sie mit einbeinigen \u00dcbungen mit dem eigenen K\u00f6rpergewicht und \u00dcbungen, die sich auf die Umkehrung und Eversion des Kn\u00f6chels mit Hilfe eines Widerstandsbands konzentrieren. Im Laufe der Zeit k\u00f6nnen Sie zu einbeinigen \u00dcbungen mit Gewichten \u00fcbergehen, die sich auf eine instabile Trainingsumgebung konzentrieren.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Versuchen Sie es:<\/strong> Einbeinige \u00dcbungen mit einem Bosu-Ball oder einem Wackelbrett, um Gleichgewicht und Kn\u00f6chelst\u00e4rke zu entwickeln.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>H\u00f6ren Sie auf Ihren K\u00f6rper - korrigieren Sie Ungleichgewichte.<\/strong>\nSchmerzen sind ein Warnsignal des K\u00f6rpers, das oft auf ein muskul\u00e4res Ungleichgewicht, Schw\u00e4che oder \u00dcberlastung hinweist. Achten Sie auf diese Probleme und seien Sie neugierig, wo Sie nach einem Trainingslauf verspannt sind oder Schmerzen haben. Wenn Sie sie ignorieren, k\u00f6nnen sich diese muskul\u00e4ren Ungleichgewichte \u00fcber eine lange Strecke zu Verletzungen entwickeln.<br\/>\n<br\/>Trotz all dieser Unterschiede ist es die Kultur, die den Trailrunning-Sport umgibt, die ihn auszeichnet. Wenn du ein Neuling bist, hei\u00dfen dich die Trailrunner in ihrer Welt willkommen. Sie ermutigen sich gegenseitig und z\u00f6gern nicht, Unterst\u00fctzung anzubieten, wenn ein anderer L\u00e4ufer verletzt ist. Sie tun es aus Liebe zum Laufen und um die Zeit in der freien Natur zu verbringen.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Trailrunning hat mich in seinen Bann gezogen, und ich m\u00f6chte es nicht anders haben.<\/strong><br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><br\/>Bild: GaudiLab\/Fotolia<br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row image single -->\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnNarrow spacing\">\n\t<div class=\"col\">\n\t<div class=\"0 scrollAnim\" \n\t    \n\t     style=\"Narrow;position:relative;overflow:hidden;\t;\" >\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"In Collaboration\"\n\t    class=\"\"\n\t    src=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/HP_M.jpg\" style=\"transition: 0.35s all;height:100%;width:100%;\t    object-position: 58% 39%; object-fit: cover;\"\/>\n\t    <\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<div class=\"descr\">Hannah Porteous ist Personal Trainerin und Wellness-Coach in Sydney, Australien.

Not only did it take me at least an hour more than the same distance on road would have, but I also spent the next 2 days with a headache and very stiff legs.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Despite my rough entry into trail running, I was soon hooked.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; It is the ultimate endorphin-filled sport: the combination of exploring nature\u2019s finest with the added benefit of the post-exercise runner\u2019s high.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;So how is trail running different from road running?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;The first thing you need to know is that you won\u2019t always run. When tackling steep climbs it is more energy efficient to hike, which can be a welcome change. There may also be sections of technical trail that is better to navigate slowly, reducing the risk of injury while you duck and weave over tree roots and under fallen branches. While the softer surfaces in trail running result in less impact-related injuries, the mixture of stop\/start pace and uneven ground means you will most likely spend more time on your feet. This not only effects the way you will train but also increases the amount of carbohydrates, electrolytes and water you will need during the run.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Nothing about trail running is particularly straight forward therefore neither should your training be. It is important to build \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;a combination of stamina and strength\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; while having the ability to navigate uneven terrain under fatigue. Many road runners are undone on trails by the sheer pressure put on joints during steep climbs and uneven descents.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Top 5 training tips\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; to get you prepared to tackle a trail challenge.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Cardiovascular fitness \u2013 build the engine.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\nFirstly you need to build a solid cardiovascular base. Build up your fitness through a mixture of long runs and stair training. Make sure that you start training far enough in advance so that you never increase your distance by more than 10% per week to avoid overtraining injuries.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Terrain specific \u2013 hit the trail.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\nFor the most effective training, spend as much time on trails similar to the event.\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt; Even better:\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; run sections of the track for your training so you know what you are up against and where you have to dig deep. Training on trails will also develop stability through your joints reducing the risk of injury.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Try:\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; Hiking, a great alternative to running if you want to add in some more distance without the impact.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Strength training \u2013 reduce injury.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\nTo cope with undulating and uneven terrain strength training is a vital component of training for a trail run. Exercises that focus on developing core strength and single-leg strength (Bulgarian split squat or walking lunge) help promote stability and reduce the risk of injury. Becoming stronger also improves running economy, resulting in greater speed and muscular endurance.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Stability \\u0026amp;amp; Balance \u2013 stay on your feet.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\nThe most common injury for trail runners is a sprained ankle. No surprises there. Adding in exercises that promote ankle strength and balance will help you avoid injury. Start off with body weight single-leg exercises in addition to exercises that focus on ankle inversion and eversion using a resistance band. Over time, progress this to single-leg weighted exercises that focus on unstable training environment.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Try:\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; Single-leg exercises using a Bosu ball or wobble board to develop balance and ankle strength.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Listen to your body \u2013 correct imbalances.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\nPain is a warning from the body often signalling muscular imbalance, weakness or overuse. Pay attention to these niggles and be curious about where you are tight or sore after a training run. If ignored, over a long distance these muscular imbalances could develop into injury.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Despite all of these differences, it\u2019s the culture that surrounds trail running that really sets it apart.

Not only did it take me at least an hour more than the same distance on road would have, but I also spent the next 2 days with a headache and very stiff legs.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Despite my rough entry into trail running, I was soon hooked.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; It is the ultimate endorphin-filled sport: the combination of exploring nature\u2019s finest with the added benefit of the post-exercise runner\u2019s high.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;So how is trail running different from road running?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;The first thing you need to know is that you won\u2019t always run. When tackling steep climbs it is more energy efficient to hike, which can be a welcome change. There may also be sections of technical trail that is better to navigate slowly, reducing the risk of injury while you duck and weave over tree roots and under fallen branches. While the softer surfaces in trail running result in less impact-related injuries, the mixture of stop\/start pace and uneven ground means you will most likely spend more time on your feet. This not only effects the way you will train but also increases the amount of carbohydrates, electrolytes and water you will need during the run.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Nothing about trail running is particularly straight forward therefore neither should your training be. It is important to build \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;a combination of stamina and strength\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; while having the ability to navigate uneven terrain under fatigue. Many road runners are undone on trails by the sheer pressure put on joints during steep climbs and uneven descents.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Top 5 training tips\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; to get you prepared to tackle a trail challenge.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Cardiovascular fitness \u2013 build the engine.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\nFirstly you need to build a solid cardiovascular base. Build up your fitness through a mixture of long runs and stair training. Make sure that you start training far enough in advance so that you never increase your distance by more than 10% per week to avoid overtraining injuries.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Terrain specific \u2013 hit the trail.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\nFor the most effective training, spend as much time on trails similar to the event.\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt; Even better:\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; run sections of the track for your training so you know what you are up against and where you have to dig deep. Training on trails will also develop stability through your joints reducing the risk of injury.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Try:\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; Hiking, a great alternative to running if you want to add in some more distance without the impact.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Strength training \u2013 reduce injury.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\nTo cope with undulating and uneven terrain strength training is a vital component of training for a trail run. Exercises that focus on developing core strength and single-leg strength (Bulgarian split squat or walking lunge) help promote stability and reduce the risk of injury. Becoming stronger also improves running economy, resulting in greater speed and muscular endurance.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Stability \\u0026amp;amp; Balance \u2013 stay on your feet.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\nThe most common injury for trail runners is a sprained ankle. No surprises there. Adding in exercises that promote ankle strength and balance will help you avoid injury. Start off with body weight single-leg exercises in addition to exercises that focus on ankle inversion and eversion using a resistance band. Over time, progress this to single-leg weighted exercises that focus on unstable training environment.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Try:\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; Single-leg exercises using a Bosu ball or wobble board to develop balance and ankle strength.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Listen to your body \u2013 correct imbalances.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\nPain is a warning from the body often signalling muscular imbalance, weakness or overuse. Pay attention to these niggles and be curious about where you are tight or sore after a training run. If ignored, over a long distance these muscular imbalances could develop into injury.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Despite all of these differences, it\u2019s the culture that surrounds trail running that really sets it apart. If you\u2019re a newbie, trail runners welcome you into their world. They encourage each other and don\u2019t hesitate to offer support if another runner is injured. They do it for the love of running and the time spent in the great outdoors.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Trail running has me hooked, and I wouldn\u2019t have it any other way.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"width\":\"Wide\",\"aspect\":\"0\",\"style\":\"2b\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-text-single {\"content\":\"\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Image by GaudiLab\/Fotolia\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"width\":\"Wide\",\"aspect\":\"0\",\"style\":\"2b\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-image-single {\"migrateBlock\":true,\"title\":\"\",\"images\":[{\"width\":720,\"height\":1040,\"file\":\"2016\/11\/HP_M.jpg\",\"filesize\":51296,\"sizes\":{\"medium\":{\"file\":\"HP_M-208x300.jpg\",\"width\":208,\"height\":300,\"mime-type\":\"image\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":9110},\"large\":{\"file\":\"HP_M-709x1024.jpg\",\"width\":709,\"height\":1024,\"mime-type\":\"image\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":64142},\"thumbnail\":{\"file\":\"HP_M-150x150.jpg\",\"width\":150,\"height\":150,\"mime-type\":\"image\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":4024},\"trp-custom-language-flag\":{\"file\":\"HP_M-8x12.jpg\",\"width\":8,\"height\":12,\"mime-type\":\"image\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":360}},\"image_meta\":{\"aperture\":\"0\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"0\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"0\",\"iso\":\"0\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"0\",\"keywords\":[]},\"id\":4593,\"alt\":\"In Collaboration\",\"caption\":\"Hannah Porteous is a personal trainer \\u0026 wellness coach based in Sydney, Australia.
