和《我爱狗牙冰》by 小布:

住处附近有一条山路。荒山秃岭，却也是个野跑的好去处。几处上下坡布满了鹅卵石。

刚开始跑的时候，12分的小心，总怕崴了脚。慢慢的跑熟了反而喜欢踩在鹅卵石上的感觉，尤其听到嘎吱嘎吱的挤压声。当然，小心驶得万年船，尤其下坡更要加倍小心。

关于野跑的好处还真不少。下面摘录的有6点。别的不好评论，对于1&2，感觉狠有道理。野跑确实要征用更多的肌肉。由于地形的复杂，每一步都可能用到不同的肌肉群。这样平均下来，对每一块肌肉的冲击压力反而小了。

我这一段时间的亲身体验是：曾经酸爽的PG有明显好转。另外，空气也比路跑新鲜多了。

6 benefits of trail running

1/ You’ll use more muscles...

‘By mixing firm hard pack trails with mud, flat routes and hills, you help to ensure your body works a much greater range of muscle groups, not just in your legs but also the stabilising muscles in your core, feet and ankles,’ says Saucony running coach, Tom Craggs. This will improve your balance as well as your overall running power on all terrains.

2/ ... And help reduce your risk of injury

‘With each foot strike on a road or tarmac surface you’re generally hitting the same muscles with the same foot strike over and over, but mixed terrain surfaces will mean your gait and foot strike is slightly different each stride, meaning you will spread the impact over a great range of muscles,’ says Craggs. In turn, you put less pressure on individual muscles and joints. Goodbye shin splints.

3/ You will be less anxious

Doing nature-based physical activity could lower stress and anxiety, while boosting mental wellbeing according to research by Edge Hill University, maximising the existing mood-improving qualities of exercise.

4/ It could help you live longer

A Harvard study this year found living in a green space meant a 12% lower rate of death compared to living in an urban environment. While we can’t all live among rolling fields, driving out for a weekend trail run helps you cash in on some of those longevity boosting benefits.

5/ You’ll lose fat faster

For those looking to shed pounds, trail running can help you burn between 60 to 90 calories more per hour, according to data from the Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise journal – this is thanks to the added challenge of uneven terrain.

6/ It will get you out of those negative thought spirals

Nature exposure reduces ‘rumination’, a.k.a when you get into a vicious thought cycle associated with depression. A 90-minute walk (or run) in nature lessens this negative brain activity, whereas the same exercise in an urban area has no such effect, according to research published in a Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences article.
