16 Jul Trail running, from start to finish

Graeme Hilditch is the author of the book “” Trail running, from start to finish, “available from 2016 also in Italian (Elika editions) under the title” The trail running from A to Z “.
The contents of substantial publication (224 pages) are responsive to the title, and really face, in 13 chapters, all aspects related to this sport: clothing, training, nutrition and hydration, injuries. Text slide, well articulated concepts and suffer the experience gained by the author.
May perhaps be superfluous, for a player and good experience runner, some parts, such as the pages dedicated to mapping and searching for paths.
Attentive readers of this category will no doubt surprising even the choice of the events listed in the section on the main trail running races in the world, which does not appear in any of the prestigious events organized in Italy, in France, in Switzerland or Spain.
Even the choice of the photographs, although many, it seemed a little addictive and not always relevant. The high number of pictures dedicated to the crossing of river crossings and muddy areas confirms the setting of a guide to the trail running “British style”, which shows an excess of detachment from woodlands, grasslands and rocky that characterize most of the trails and competitions that take place in the Bel Paese.
Complex there is therefore a book that is more useful to those who come for the first time to trail running, rather than for those who have already gained experience and direct knowledge.
