As a beginner who has only ever done triathlons, I honestly never thought I'd get into trail running.

As a triathlon novice, I honestly never thought I'd get into "trail running." This time, I participated in the "Dream Forging Trail Running Project" jointly created by Iron Forging Studio x Flippos, led by Taiwan's ultra-marathon legend, Coach Chen Tsai-Tsung. We didn't just learn trail running techniques; we learned "how to use our body's wisdom to run further."

The most impactful quote from the course: 👉 "Training isn't about mileage; it's about comprehensive quality." This statement completely subverted my understanding of training.

From muscle group transitions and stride control to mastering the rhythm of uphill and downhill sections, every step wasn't about pushing through, but about finding the most effortless and efficient way.

It turns out running isn't just about moving forward; it can be smarter and more free.
