Running on trails can be exhilarating, but also exhausting as it places much more stress on the body than road running. Rocks, tree roots, mud and altitude result in a dynamic run experience that demands focus, high energy, strength and balance.The higher demands of running on rugged terrain means that that athlete must take their preparation seriously if they want to succeed at running off-road. Under Armour’s performance experts have developed a conditioning program designed to get you in the best possible shape to compete off-road. It is specifically built to cope with the rigors of trail running, so you’ll be ready to go on race day.NOTE: This training plan is targeting a 25K distance, which is slightly more than a traditional 13.1-mile half-marathon.
The recovery routine is based on Under Armour’s belief that today’s recovery is tomorrow’s training. It is essential to attempt to restore movement quality after a run. The program is designed to hit the areas of the body that need the most attention. These moves will require a foam roller or tennis ball, which can be found at your local gym or health club. These moves should be done after every workout.Times per week: Every dayBREATHINGTrail running often involves running at higher altitudes, so this plan also includes a research-based technique that improves athletic breathing and can simulate training at altitude.

Walk while holding the breath until you feel a medium to strong air shortage. Release your nose, inhale through it and calm your breathing. While continuing to walk, perform a breath hold every minute or so. Perform six breath holds during your ten minute walk.Practice one to two sets daily. These exercises should be challenging, but not stressful.Training plans developed in collaboration with UA Training Network and UA Run Coach Mike Smith.
