Technical advice
Just starting out? Begin with a few beautiful days of hiking in the Vosges or the Alps. Do you enjoy a challenge and want to push yourself further? Start preparing for your first introductory trail run.
By choosing a pair of socks that are suited to your activity, your shoes, your foot type (arch, size, and the shape of both your right and left feet), and the conditions you’ll be facing, you’ll avoid blisters, chafing, moisture, and unpleasant surprises.
Are you feeling a little urge to get out into nature? To breathe in the fresh mountain air, feel the wind in your hair, and hear the rustling of the leaves? Before you set out on your first trails, let’s talk about preparation.
Trail running is much more than just running on hilly, rugged terrain. Above all, it’s a sport that requires a structured approach to improve without getting injured. The good news is that with the right tools, anyone can get better!
