Trail running is widely known to have a range of benefits for women who do it regularly. As well aiding general fitness, weight loss and healthy hormone balance, the combination of physical exercise and nature can have a positive effect on mood.
Lightweight breathable tops and comfortable shorts, trousers or skirts that help you move are essential for women who want to get serious about trail running. Leggings are also an option, while a good running jacket is recommended for colder and damper times of the year.
A hat can be a welcome companion on the trail, whether it’s to keep the sun out of your eyes or to keep your head warm. Comfortable socks are essential, while in autumn and winter a pair of gloves can make a big difference for women who keep going no matter what.
