With off-road running, the ability of knowing where you are going is a fundamental skill. Unfortunately for many runners the secrets of navigation are akin to the secrets of the dark arts of black magic. Specifically with the runner in mind, this book presents in an easy to understand manner all the skills and techniques that are required for the beginner through to the advanced user. 'Navigation for Off-Road Runners' will give you the confidence to go further.

Downhill Techniques for Off-road Runners

Shevels, Keven

The booklet first explains the differences between trail and fell running. In the training section the constituent parts, namely uphill running, downhill running, endurance running, speed training and running over different terrain are examined with sections on strength training and appropriate flexibility sessions for the trail and fell runner. The section then concludes with advice on training sessions and how to construct different types of sessions to maximise your training. The relevant clothing and equipment for the two types of running are explained and why some aspects are made compulsory for all competitors in fell races. The booklet finally concludes with a section on what to expect when you compete in your first trail or fell race, about the registration, the facilities, what to expect when you are out on the course and what happens when the run is over.

Uphill Techniques for Off-Road Runners

The mountains of Snowdonia are home to some of the classic mountain races in the UK and the playground of the runner who seeks the adventure of the high, wild places. In this, the first guidebook to the area written specifically for the runner, Jim Kelly takes the committed off-road athlete on a tour of this rugged heart of Wales. Within these pages lie twenty-five lung bursting routes that traverse the mountain tops, the deep valleys and the lonely lakes that lie within this gem of a National Park. For the fell, hill and mountain runner this is not so much a guide but rather a catalogue to paradise. Mountains and runners are built for adrenaline, now here is the opportunity to sample them both in Snowdonia. Running at 192 pages this full colour guide is detailed with maps, photos and detailed instructions to some of the best mountain running in Snowdonia.
