Cuando sal\u00ed del coche en este evento, me sent\u00ed como el ni\u00f1o en su primer d\u00eda de escuela que se perdi\u00f3 el memor\u00e1ndum sobre el c\u00f3digo de vestimenta. Hab\u00eda grupos de gente arremolinada con mochilas de hidrataci\u00f3n, calcetines largos de compresi\u00f3n, viseras y geles electrol\u00edticos. Con un pu\u00f1ado de medias maratones a mis espaldas, pens\u00e9 que hacer kil\u00f3metros en la carretera me pondr\u00eda en buena forma.

No s\u00f3lo tard\u00e9 al menos una hora m\u00e1s de lo que habr\u00eda tardado en recorrer la misma distancia por carretera, sino que me pas\u00e9 los dos d\u00edas siguientes con dolor de cabeza y las piernas muy agarrotadas.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>A pesar de mi dura entrada en el trail running, pronto me enganch\u00e9.<\/strong> Es el deporte m\u00e1s endorf\u00ednico: la combinaci\u00f3n de explorar lo mejor de la naturaleza con el beneficio a\u00f1adido del subid\u00f3n del corredor despu\u00e9s del ejercicio.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>\u00bfEn qu\u00e9 se diferencia el trail running del running en carretera?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Lo primero que debes saber es que no siempre correr\u00e1s. Al abordar subidas empinadas, es m\u00e1s eficiente energ\u00e9ticamente caminar, lo que puede ser un cambio bienvenido. Tambi\u00e9n puede haber tramos de senderos t\u00e9cnicos que es mejor recorrer despacio, reduciendo el riesgo de lesiones al esquivar las ra\u00edces de los \u00e1rboles y pasar por debajo de ramas ca\u00eddas. Aunque las superficies m\u00e1s blandas del trail running provocan menos lesiones relacionadas con el impacto, la mezcla de ritmo de parada y arranque y terreno irregular significa que lo m\u00e1s probable es que pases m\u00e1s tiempo de pie. Esto no s\u00f3lo afecta a la forma en que entrenar\u00e1s, sino que tambi\u00e9n aumenta la cantidad de carbohidratos, electrolitos y agua que necesitar\u00e1s durante la carrera.<br\/>\n<br\/>Nada en el trail running es especialmente sencillo, por lo que el entrenamiento tampoco deber\u00eda serlo. Es importante construir <strong>una combinaci\u00f3n de resistencia y fuerza<\/strong> y, al mismo tiempo, ser capaz de sortear terrenos irregulares con fatiga. Muchos corredores de carretera se deshacen en los senderos por la enorme presi\u00f3n a la que se ven sometidas las articulaciones durante las subidas pronunciadas y los descensos irregulares.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Los 5 mejores consejos de entrenamiento<\/strong> para prepararte para afrontar un reto de trail.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Aptitud cardiovascular: construye el motor.<\/strong>\nEn primer lugar, debes construir una s\u00f3lida base cardiovascular. Mejore su forma f\u00edsica combinando carreras largas y entrenamiento en escaleras. Aseg\u00farate de empezar a entrenar con suficiente antelaci\u00f3n para no aumentar nunca la distancia m\u00e1s de 10% por semana, a fin de evitar lesiones por sobreentrenamiento.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Espec\u00edficos para cada terreno.<\/strong>\nPara un entrenamiento m\u00e1s eficaz, pase el mayor tiempo posible en senderos similares a los de la prueba.<strong> A\u00fan mejor:<\/strong> Recorre tramos de pista para tu entrenamiento, as\u00ed sabr\u00e1s a qu\u00e9 te enfrentas y d\u00f3nde tienes que profundizar. El entrenamiento en pistas tambi\u00e9n desarrollar\u00e1 la estabilidad a trav\u00e9s de tus articulaciones reduciendo el riesgo de lesiones.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Int\u00e9ntalo:<\/strong> Senderismo, una gran alternativa a correr si quieres a\u00f1adir algo m\u00e1s de distancia sin el impacto.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Entrenamiento de fuerza: reduce las lesiones.<\/strong>\nPara hacer frente a un terreno ondulado e irregular, el entrenamiento de la fuerza es un componente vital del entrenamiento para una carrera de trail. Los ejercicios centrados en desarrollar la fuerza del tronco y la fuerza de una sola pierna (sentadilla b\u00falgara o estocada caminando) ayudan a promover la estabilidad y reducen el riesgo de lesiones. El fortalecimiento tambi\u00e9n mejora la econom\u00eda de carrera, lo que se traduce en una mayor velocidad y resistencia muscular.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Estabilidad y equilibrio: mantente en pie.<\/strong>\nLa lesi\u00f3n m\u00e1s com\u00fan entre los corredores de trail es el esguince de tobillo. No es ninguna sorpresa. Incorporar ejercicios que potencien la fuerza y el equilibrio del tobillo te ayudar\u00e1 a evitar lesiones. Empieza con ejercicios de peso corporal con una sola pierna, adem\u00e1s de ejercicios que se centren en la inversi\u00f3n y eversi\u00f3n del tobillo utilizando una banda de resistencia. Con el tiempo, progrese a ejercicios con peso en una sola pierna que se centren en un entorno de entrenamiento inestable.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Int\u00e9ntalo:<\/strong> Ejercicios con una sola pierna utilizando un bal\u00f3n Bosu o una tabla de bamboleo para desarrollar el equilibrio y la fuerza de los tobillos.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Escuche a su cuerpo: corrija los desequilibrios.<\/strong>\nEl dolor es una advertencia del cuerpo que suele indicar desequilibrio muscular, debilidad o sobrecarga. Presta atenci\u00f3n a estas molestias y siente curiosidad por saber d\u00f3nde est\u00e1s tenso o dolorido despu\u00e9s de una carrera de entrenamiento. Si no se tienen en cuenta, estos desequilibrios musculares pueden provocar lesiones en distancias largas.<br\/>\n<br\/>A pesar de todas estas diferencias, es la cultura que rodea al trail running lo que realmente lo distingue. Si eres novato, los corredores de trail te dan la bienvenida a su mundo. Se animan unos a otros y no dudan en ofrecer su apoyo si otro corredor se lesiona. Lo hacen por amor al running y por el tiempo que pasan al aire libre.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>El trail running me ha enganchado, y no lo har\u00eda de otra manera.<\/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\/>Imagen de 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 es entrenadora personal y coach de bienestar en S\u00eddney (Australia).

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.

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.
