The benefits of trail running
RunSociety.com has written up a great article about the benefits of trail running—summarily put, it improves your running pace, offers challenging terrain, stimulates your mind and provides you with fresher air (as compared to polluted city pavements). If this has convinced you to hit the trails, you can start training for events such as the Energizer Night Trail Singapore 2014 (May 10), the Green Corridor Run (May 18), and the MR25 Ultra Marathon (Dec 28).
