Kings of the Trail #004
This week's Kings of the Trail includes articles on going longer and extending your trail mileage, perfect timing for the longer days we have here in the Northern Hemisphere, as well as some great old railway trails across the US to explore. There will be a trail route traversing the country when old railway lines are linked. One for the bucket list! We also swap two legs for two wheels and look at essential bike maintenance tips.

Each week we will update our Kings of the Trail playlist with a new selection – just like trail runs or hikes, you can be sure that it will be a varied and eclectic journey, but hopefully there will be something for everyone.
Sometimes you need music to help distract you, sometimes for getting lost in and sometimes you just need it to lift you…this is one of those songs. This is a pop jam with some serious funk flex and this banger is firmly on my running playlists as it gives me a jolt of positive energy every time. Give it a listen…it's worth it, worth it, worth it!! Listen on Apple Music Listen on Spotify
Hitting the trails is hard work and recovery is an important part of any training programme, so how about sitting back and taking a few moments to enjoy some fun?
