Without a doubt, thinking about the mountains in this heat may seem a bit distant now, but alert runners, if you’re already tired of running in parks or city streets, or even along our seafront, which I doubt… but simply want to change the scenery.

We will tell you about some ways to prepare your body for the big leap: Running in the mountains! Our silver friend Gustavo invites us to try this type of sport. When you run along the seafront, although it’s amazing, you miss out on many things. You’re focused on the times, the paces, the breathing…

However, in the mountains, no matter if you’re a regular runner, you will notice the difference. Mountain running offers very different sensations: the terrain, the slopes, and the natural obstacles will keep you more entertained than usual. Especially the downhill parts. They are so much fun…

Being in contact with nature and setting yourself small milestones psychologically helps you endure longer; the race will have a different kind of incentive.

However, you must pay more attention to your strides, distribute your body weight better, be mindful of your footwear, and stick to moderately familiar routes.

Moreover, for this type of experience, it will be advisable to join some mountain running forums in the area. Here in the region, many of our friends use Strava, an app that records your route and keeps you connected with users of similar profiles.

Nevertheless, we’ll leave you a link to find some of the best routes that the mountains of Malaga have to offer.

We can only encourage you to try it. Without a doubt, you’ll want to do it again
