The difference between off-road running and trail running is really that trail running may include a short section of road that leads to the trail and the trail itself is not intensively hilly. Off-road running is the hillier stuff and is also known as fell running. It's common sense to know that you should give these things a go before kitting yourself out fully just in case you don't like it.

Run4It are pleased to announce their support of [Scottish Hill Runners] [1] (SHR) by way of a sponsorship package for 2010. It is envisaged that the deal will continue for at least 2 further years thereafter.

There is one aspect of your running which can be developed quite quickly, improved upon, and that is downhill running. Many runners “take a break” during the downhill sections of a road, trail or cross-country race but the benefits in practising the skill of this area can be seen in the gap one can open up over fellow competitors who have not given much, if any, thought to utilising the downhill sections to their benefit...
