Trail running is one of the best things you can do outdoors in the UK, and you do not need to be a seasoned runner to get started. In this first episode of our Give it a GO trail running series, presenter Tim Warwood heads to The Roaches in the Peak District to meet Merrell Ambassador and running coach Trina Dawkins, who explains what trail running is, how it differs from road running, and why it is worth giving it a try.

Whether you plan to run laps of your local park or tackle the fells, this series takes you through everything you need to know from scratch.
