So trail running is not about keeping a constant running pace, but adapting to the terrain and nature over and over again. When uphill sections.
On a trail run, you tend to alternate between walking and running in the uphill sections, because often running is not possible at all on steep slopes. Running downhill also requires balance.

Trail running is therefore clearly a whole-body sport that intensively trains and stresses your muscles and coordination.
