Kings of the Trail #040
Despite the wet and windy weather I have managed to find happiness in the recent stormy conditions, running in the chaos brings a sense of calm and peace to me. Happiness like this can be found in various places which differ for each and every one of us, but being outside surrounded by nature will surely bring a smile to even the most tumultuous soul…
"I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, "This is what it is to be happy."
Sylvia Plath
Holiday planning for next year, buying some new specialised kit for your trail running adventures or exploring the mental health benefits of running, hopefully, some of this will bring you a small slice of happiness this week…
Until next week, be safe and enjoy the trails...
It is a no-brainer (!) that running is awesome for mental health, but the connection between the two is more complex. Delving into this dynamic can be the answer to improving your running…
New gear always makes me happy, especially when it improves your enjoyment or efficiency on a particular task and trail running gear is no exception…where is trail running gear heading and what is available?
What is better than having amazing adventures on the horizon to look forward to? Here are some juicy ideas to get you started and make plans for new experiences in 2024…
The benefits of getting outside and being in nature are well documented (not least here at Kings of the Trail!) but it’s not as easy or straightforward for everyone. This needs to change...

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.
Most songs by this iconic and enduring wonder of a band make me happy, but a new track after so long seems like a gift from a time capsule that is just too good to ignore. With contributions from all the original members and some new technology thrown in to make it come together, this really is a fantastic gem.
