## Resource

Just incase anyone is missing a trick and not trail running, Rick and Ben chat through the best ways to take the plunge and start running off-road. We discuss kit (it's the same kit you have already), why trail running is good for your soul and other non-performance based metrics like having fun. We do also think it makes you faster, but it's mainly just because it's nice. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
