Frequently Asked Questions

How should I pace myself in a 5K?

Start slightly slower than your target pace for the first kilometer 1 to avoid going out too fast. Settle into your goal pace for kilometers 2-4, then give everything you have left for the final kilometer. The 5K is short enough to push hard but long enough to require pacing discipline.

What's different about running on trails?

Trail running requires more attention to foot placement and engages stabilizing muscles differently than road running. You'll typically run slower on trails due to terrain variations. Trail shoes with aggressive lugs provide better grip, and a more upright posture helps you see obstacles ahead.
