webinar details

When training for trails the first thing to consider is your running mechanics and technique. Your running style will differ somewhat from road running, with the changes to surfaces and the undulating terrain. A good way of looking at running on trails would be comparing road and off road vehicles. If a non-off road vehicle drives over difficult, uneven tracks then there is a good chance it may breakdown. This is the same for running on trails, if the body is not conditioned to run on trails then there is an increased chance of getting injured.

 

In this webinar series, we will be talking about using the principles of training and how to implement them with your own trail running, to condition your body for endurance on the trails and in the mountains. We will be going over five key areas to consider when building a good strength and conditioning foundation for trail: conditioning your mobility, core, feet, aerobic and muscular systems.

George Howard

George is a highly experienced coach and ultra-endurance athlete. He has developed his knowledge of training through studying Sport & Exercises science at the University of Leeds and over 8 years of personal training. His clients have ranged from sedentary Londoners, mountaineers and ultra marathon runners to prison convicts.


For his first ultra marathon, he ran 84 miles along Hadrian’s wall in under 24hrs. Since then he has successfully completed numerous challenges, most notably the UTMB Chamonix and Oman, 260km Wadi Rum Desert ultra, GB Ultra 200-mile run and the DW 125-mile kayaking race. 

 

He often uses himself as a guinea pig for self experiments to test different training methodologies. His ultimate test is to test his own training methodologies by running the length of Africa. He has a good balance between the knowledge and experience needed in order to get results.

Rupert Jones-Warner

Growing up on the South Coast, Rupert didn't come across many mountains. He spent much of my youth running, cycling and sailing competitively in international regattas around the world. It was the love of the outdoors that eventually led Rupert in search of a challenge in the great heights of the Himalayas.

​

At the age of 22, having been inspired by the famous climbers through the years, he took up mountaineering for the first time. Sailing consequently took a backseat to make way for more extreme pursuits. In April 2015, he visited Everest for the first time but the Nepalese Earthquake thwarted his attempted.

 

Several Himalayan expeditions later, Rupert has summited Everest as well as the notorious Annapurna. In 2020, he was hoping to climb K2 but this has been pushed back. A keen but very amateur trail runner, he is focusing his efforts on training and developing his technique with the aim of competing in ultra-marathons later on in the year.
