Road Running vs. Trail Running - Which has the greatest risk of injury and for what injuries?

Описание: It is very common for runners who mainly train on roads and in cities and are often injured to be advised to try running more trails, as this is said to reduce the risk of injury. After all, a forest trail is softer to land on than asphalt and concrete, so it should generate a lower risk of injury, right?
But does it?
No, it doesn’t.
Or, well, yes, it does.
It all depends on what you consider a running injury to be and whether your choice of trail or road has anything to do with the specific injury you have suffered.
Does this sound complicated?
It is!
Which is exactly what this video is about.

Welcome to another video for all you nerds out there!

”I am a 2h30 Belgian marathon runner and I must say this is the best course I've seen. I am promoting you to all my running friends. It should be mandatory for all runners.”
MDM, Belgium

"Fantastic running course. Fredrik is an excellent teacher with a unique approach. I highly recommend this course to runners of all levels."
Kevin, UK

"The best money I have ever spent. Great mix of humour, practical technique and theory. It’s brilliant and I have been telling all my friends about it. I’ve knocked 30 secs off my average pace to 4:30 and at 53 I’m absolutely astonished how relaxed I feel running. It’s also really helped my cycling my adapting similar techniques and visualisation. Thanks so much."
Paul, UK

"Just wanted to say Im 2/3 through your running program and WOW what an insane difference".
Runner, Texas, USA

”I have done the first two audio lessons now. It's amazing what a difference you made for me. I ran 90 minutes yesterday and have never felt so fresh both during and after the workout, and then I have never run so fast with the same low heart rate. Thanks for that!!”
Update from a runner after two of the six audio lessons

I can honestly say it is some of the clearest and best instruction I have ever recieved in any topic. After a year of shin splints I went for a run yesterday and was almost in (joyful) tears because I had zero pain, so thank you!!
Andrew

”I can't thank Fredrik enough for putting his running course out there. I couldn't run more than 3Km without my calves straining - within two or three videos, he'd got me running properly, and I'm now happily running half marathons. Your course is one of the best "fitness money" choices I've made. Money well spent!"
John, UK

”I got your online course and it almost instantly fixed my running form. I can prove that by having half an hour faster marathon finishing time.”
Runner, Indonesia

"I knew nothing about running other than put one foot forward in front of the other...and fast. Then I signed up for his course. Mind blowing!... and too cheap if you ask me. Totally recommend it."
Runner

”Oh my goodness!!! This is an absolutely FANTASTIC course !!! Ive always struggled to enjoy running......pains in knees, calves, hip flexors......it wasnt pretty. Then I found this course and was astounded at how much my running improved after each lesson and with less effort than I was using before. Im now kicking myself for wasting time bumbling around with random techniques when I could have gone straight to the expert!”
Kerry, Australia
