Trail &Trailcore Series (TR) (TRC)

This series features trail running and full body “core” conditioning rolled into one. We’ve hand selected a few trails outside of Boston and will be starting at The Middlesex Fells.

Participants must have some base road miles logged before trail running as it requires extra effort and it will make your overall experience more enjoyable. The length of run can vary between 3 & 6 miles depending on your ability. The training last 60-70 minutes. That’s total customization!

Coach: Jon Malone

Middlesex Fells - Right north of Boston, this location is easy to access unless the traffic is bad. We’ll digress on that for the moment and get to the training.

If you haven’t been trail running before, you’ll learn quickly it’s all about footing, change of stride, picking good lines, and thinking ahead but willing to change your mind in a split second. This is why trail running is a great compliment to your regular training. If you’re in a rut or simply feeling sluggish, come trail run and as we say in Boston, “fuhgeddaboudit.”

With any sport, risk of injury is possible and a basic liability waiver must be signed before participating in the fun!
