Salomon Trail Running Shoes

Do you also feel that trail is to running what oak is to wood? The king!
Or is trail the spice you occasionally add to liven up your run?
Or maybe trail running is the unknown venture you dream of but haven't dared try yet?
Let's be clear: Trail running offers endless opportunities. For everyone.

TRAIL RUNNING LEADS YOU AN EXCITING NEW PATH…

Trail running captivates the public. Interest is rising. And with reason! Trail offers things road running doesn't. Adds new dimensions to your run. Brings you close to nature. 
Aside from drawing you from gray, monotonous roads, trail awakens your senses and sharpens your awareness. You feel your body anew. Sense your surroundings anew. Discover yourself anew. The trail universe invites you to embrace nature and engage with it. Once you enter that universe, it's hard not to be seduced by inviting paths and venture deeper. The sound of snapping branches, rolling stones, and splashing mud. Nature is right there. Served on a silver platter. It's just about taking in suitable doses and pace. Established and marked paths or exploring and challenging the terrain on your own? Trail running can take you and your running new and exciting paths.  

IS TRAIL ALWAYS SHARP TURNS, STEEP INCLINES, MUDDY PATHS, AND CRAZY ASCENTS?

If you're new to the trail universe and thinking, "that trail running" sounds exciting. Actually, you'd like to spice up your running with something fresh and different. But maybe you hesitate. What really is trail running? Is it always on wild slopes with treacherous roots waiting to trip you? Under low branches threatening your eyes? On cliffs risking a tumble? Don't worry. You can relax. Trail running has many faces. 
Trail running can be gentle and calm. Where your face stays relaxed, feet move steadily on a wide gravel path, and your pulse remains stable. You're in nature, enjoying it without being challenged by the terrain.  
But trail running can also have a more intense, focused expression. Where concentration is etched in stone, sweat drips, and your natural expression slips. Nature is close, demanding alertness and control. What's around the next bend? Up or down? A fallen tree or stream to cross? Slippery or loose rocks? Then there are expressions between extremes. Where fun and tailored challenges bring smiles and sweat.
By definition, asphalt running shouldn't exceed 20% of your route to qualify as trail. Thus, trail can vary in form and difficulty - in climbs and terrain. But the word 'trail' quickly associates with wilder, untouched nature. Less city, more nature and play.

TRAIL RUNNING APPEALS WIDELY

Trail running is for everyone. Inclusive. It's not just for a select niche. Anyone who enjoys running or wants to start can see trail as a great opportunity. As in life, it's about finding your version and level. 
You can take a gentle run on forest paths as a break from road runs. Seek progressively more technical trails, or commit to trail and find ultraruns in Denmark or elsewhere. It's up to you. There needn't be an either-or. Many get captivated by the trail world. Understandably. Here, you can adjust development dials. Elevation. Distance. Speed. Surface. Terrain. To name a few.
Away from elite trail running, there's a tendency that trail doesn't obsess over kilometers and pace like road running. For some runners, it's refreshing that focus shifts more to experiencing nature. Being in motion with nature. On its terms. In harmony.
