Changes

* '''Hat with visor''' Dappled sunlight through the trees looks lovely until the sun is in your eyes and you are getting blinded as you pound the trails. The only time I have taken a serious fall trail running was due to dappled lighting. A hat with a visor is invaluable.

* '''Cycling Gloves''' There is always a risk of tripping and falling while trail running. Wearing cycling gloves can help protect your hands in the case of a fall.

* '''Sunglasses''' The risk of eye damage is much higher when trail running. A stray branch can catch you in the eye and cause some nasty damage. I always wear some type of eye protection when running; don't take your eye sight for granted! (I wear Oakley Half Jackets with interchangeable lenses – clear for nighttime, yellow for dim conditions and dark polarizing for bright conditions.)

* '''Inner game of trail running''' Finding where to put your feet is something that is best left to your subconscious. The conscious mind is needed to work out the right path, but it can just get in the way of the exact footing. This requires the runner to avoid over thinking about the trail. Your conscious mind should be thinking about the overall route along the trail, not each footfall.
