STAY FOCUSED ON TECHNICAL TRAILS
Running poles are often used by ultra runners to provide stability and support on technical terrain. More and more adventure and trail runners have also begun to appreciate running poles, especially when the surface is technically demanding.
Here are 5 reasons why running poles help when trail running:
1. BETTER BALANCE
Running poles give you better balance in technical terrain, e.g. rocky, uneven or steep paths. The pole gives you an extra point of contact with the ground, which reduces the risk of slipping or losing your footing.
2. INCREASED SPEED
By using running poles, you can move forward more efficiently, especially when the path goes uphill. By using running poles, you activate the muscles in your upper body that assist in forward and upward movement, giving you an extra boost of power and pace.

3. REDUCED STRESS
Running poles facilitate how the load is distributed more evenly in your body, which reduces the strain on your legs and feet. This makes a big difference during long training sessions or competitions.
4. BETTER POSTURE
By using running poles, your posture will automatically improve, with a straight spine and relaxed shoulders. A better posture can reduce the risk of developing neck, shoulder or back pain over time.
5. DAMAGE PREVENTION
Thanks to reduced load on your joints, running poles can prevent injuries such as knee pain, osteitis and plantar fasciitis. They also provide extra support for your ankles and knees, making for more comfortable running on technical downhill terrain.
