Trail running is one of the fastest-growing ways to enjoy the outdoors, with millions of runners and joggers enjoying off-road runs on America’s 60,000 miles of trail. Now, with a new book from veteran trail runner and Runner’s World columnist Lisa Jhung, aspiring trail runners can get the dirt on all things trail running. Jhung’s new book, Trailhead, is a witty, fun guide to everything runners need to know about running off the beaten path. With talented illustrator Charlie Layton, Jhung offers an illustrated pocket guide for all runners curious about running off-road or wanting to run farther into the backcountry. She offers authoritative advice on everything from how to find good trails to run, how to choose the best shoes and clothing, how to carry enough water, and how to stay safe from wildlife and weather. Trailhead: The Dirt on All Things Trail Running will be available in bookstores, running shops, and online in early April. Preview the book at www.velopress.com/trail.
Trailhead is a smart, entertaining read as well as a thorough resource for everyone from aspiring trail runners to those looking to get the most out of every trail run, whether in a city park or on a mountain adventure.
