Prepare for Trail, Bike and Beyond: Multi-Sport Training Tips

Trail Running Tips and Gear

Trail running pushes both your endurance and your coordination. Start with shorter trails and gradually increase distance and elevation to avoid injury. Focus on shoes with solid grip for uneven terrain, moisture-wicking clothing, and a hydration pack for long runs. For routes like the Royal National Park waterfall loop, consider lightweight gear that won’t weigh you down. Check out our Trail Running collection including hydration packs, gels and performance apparel designed to keep you comfortable on any trail.

Cycling and Bikepacking Essentials

For cycling and bikepacking adventures, your gear can make or break the experience. Invest in a reliable bike, cycling & mountain biking gear, and comfortable clothing for long rides.
