I set out to tackle Smuggler Mt. Road. This is a staple run for locals and visitors as it’s short, steep and sweet. It’s only 3 miles round trip, but with its 1,050 ft elevation gain, you always feel like you get a good workout. The best part is the fantastic view you...
Most likely, trail runs will last much longer than your typical road running 10k. Bring energy gels, bars, or other snacks to fuel your body during longer runs. Pack enough nutrition for the distance you plan to cover. 5. Windbreaker The weather on trails, particularly at elevation, can ch...

and January getting needled in my lymph node and beast, I have been less than interested in long runs. Not to mention more tired and sore than usual. I am not upset about it all, I think I have accepted that this winter I will spend more time on the couch, catching up with some...
The Appalachian Trail runs through Kent, passing within two miles of our TrailHeads Headquarters. Connecticut is the gateway to New England. Unlike in the south, much of the Northern Trail does not have switchbacks. Switchbacks can make long climbs easier as you gain elevation more slowly. In...
