Why use trail running poles?

Advantages of trail poles:A quick-release push-button for rapid folding and unfolding, even when moving.They help runners save energy during push-off, ensure better balance and stability during technically challenging stretches and can act as stabilisers and shock absorbers on descents to control speed.

What techniques are used when running with trail running poles?

Firstly, using poles when running is a fairly technical exercise and you will need a little training. It's best to anticipate any difficulties and learn to use them before you race!Also, there are 2 ways of using trail poles, whether descending or ascending: simultaneous or alternating. Which one you choose will depend on the gradient of the slope and the space available for using the poles:

TECHNIQUE FOR RUNNING WITH SIMULTANEOUS TRAIL POLES:

Useful on steep slopes to relieve your thighs by hauling yourself up with your arms or when descending to hold yourself back and give your legs a rest. You can take several strides each time before your poles touch the ground. Try and lean forward and drive your poles into the ground.

TECHNIQUE FOR RUNNING WITH ALTERNATING TRAIL POLES:

The alternating technique is more appropriate when there is less space available and a gentler slope, this technique requires less power and consists in alternating between your right and left legs, with the opposite arm pushing the pole down in front of you and the other arm behind you, in the air. In this case, it's best not to drive the pole too hard into the ground to maintain a better rhythm. Try and take smaller steps for this technique to become more natural.
