It's saved my knees. I thought I was done running. Started running trails only

I have done a little. It is, IMO, very different from street running.

Efficient and fun way to do cardio. Listen to books/podcasts.

I don’t but I like to hike. I hate it when runners don’t know trail etiquette.

I trail run all the time, always alone though, running in groups is weird.

I'd have a hard time matching pace with anybody.

Are you in Utah? I know the scene somewhat, but dont think it's that bad.
