Kings of the Trail #016

Last week we had a little look at hiking with your little ones. This week, I want to ensure that your furry companions don’t feel left out, so the article below lists the most suitable breeds that can easily adapt to accompany you on your hiking or trail-running adventures.


We also examine the requirements and planning involved in completing a race that spans over 100 miles. How do professional athletes survey and prepare for the course, as well as ensure they have the necessary fuel and hydration for such an extended period of physical activity?


One of our final two articles examines how we can ensure our parks and natural spaces are open and accessible to all who may want to enjoy them and lastly, we cover some of the many benefits to be found in run-commuting.


As always, please follow our social channels and share this newsletter with anyone that you think may be interested.


More to come next week, but for now, enjoy this week's edition, be safe and enjoy the trails…

Each week I update the 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 to enjoy.


This jaunty pop-punk song would probably be top of the charts if it were 2003, so it’s hard to believe that 20 years later it doesn't sound out of place – far from it. Oh so upbeat and energetic, with hooky guitar riffs and uplifting messaging in the lyrics – not to mention just the right amount of attitude to keep you singing along!
