We combine tempo runs with high-intensity strength work—like mountain climbers and step-up squats—to build the power and stability you need for longer distances, whether you are racing on roads or transitioning to trails. ### Our Training Philosophy At Road To Trail Club, we believe training is a mix of structure and sweat. We do not just run; we prepare your body for the demands of the road and the unpredictable nature of trails. ### Core Training Methods * **Speed & Endurance:** We use Fartlek sessions (like 90 seconds fast, 60 seconds slow) to build speed play and aerobic capacity. Our speed intervals, involving 600m repeats with walk recovery, are designed to shave time off your personal best. * **Elevation & Power:** We do not skip the climbs. We utilize stair repeats and hill sprints in Cubbon Park to improve VO2 Max and build explosive leg power. For those eyeing mountain races like Malnad Ultra, we run specialized excursions to Nandi Hills for real-world elevation experience. * **Functional Strength:** Running makes you fit, but strength training keeps you injury-free. Every session includes a CrossFit-inspired finisher—planks, lunges, and spider jumps—to harden your core and protect your joints against impact. ### Why Train With Us? It is about the squad. We are a dog-friendly group, and our four-legged friends are often at the start line cheering us on. We train in all weather because race day does not care if it rains. If you are tired of running solo, come join us for a session. We finish every run with a group circle, share some laughs, and often grab chai together. This is where the community bonds, and where your goals become our collective mission. ## About Road To Trail Club I am Sujith. Running is simple for us, rain or shine, we show up at Cubbon Park at 5:30 am. It is not about how fast you start, but about the community we build—humans and our four-legged friends running together.
