TIPS FOR WINTER RUNNING
This is an old page we had for 2019. But it will be updated for High Coast Trail 2022 with interviews and tips for the experience. Just hang in there a little longer.
For High Coast Winter Trail, we will meet people and companies with expertise who will make both your preparations even better and the race itself even more enjoyable. We just met with Intersport, and this summer we hung out a bit with Gainomax to get some nutrition tips and advice on how to best recover between training sessions. Check this out, and if you have any questions, they’re often discussed quite actively in Participant group on Facebook >>
