To prepare for a long-distance trail run, ensure you have proper trail running shoes, hydrate well beforehand, pack necessary supplies (like water, energy gels, and a map), dress appropriately for the weather and terrain, warm up with dynamic stretches, and mentally plan your pace and route. 🏃♂️🌲

Make sure to wear trail-running shoes with good grip and support to handle uneven terrain. Hydrate well and bring energy snacks, as well as a small first-aid kit and a map or GPS device to navigate the trails safely.
