Abstract
When Ana Pichrtova talks about mountain running her eyes light up; she can't disguise the pure joy that these trail treks bring her. "I just love it! I love the trails, I love running- that's it!" Pichrtova exudes. Most elites, like Pichrtova, know the benefits of training on arduous mountains. They increase the cardiovascular system's capabilities, they improve a runner's strength and when it comes to running faster 5K's, training in the mountains can help you slice seconds off your current PR. But when it comes to common road warriors most don't understand (or choose to neglect!) just how beneficial mountain running can be. No one said that climbing a mountain was easy, in fact it can be quite the difficult task, but when it comes to overcoming an existing plateau there may not be anything better than hitting the hills hard.
