Now that the weather has cooled down, many of us are spending more time outdoors. Autumn is a great time to be outside with family and friends. Check out these off road walking/running tips from Runner's World and use them to get some fresh air and exercise this coming weekend!

Correct form:
Short strides, eyes on trail and arms slightly raised away from your sides.

Running uphill:
Very short steps and increase arm swing frequency.

Running downhill:
Keep weight back slightly and extend arms out from body for balance.

Avoid obstacles:
 Roots, rocks, gravel, mud and ice are not good. Slow down if you have to avoid them.
