Running poles 🦯 - MTBIKER.shop

Running poles are a great tool for mountain runners for both shorter and longer distances. They will significantly help to protect joints and save energy during demanding runs in a mountain environment. At the same time, they help you maintain stability, and thanks to the poles, you distribute your strength to the upper part of your body, not just to your legs. It is important to learn how to use them correctly, so that movement in difficult terrain is as efficient as possible. Poles must be easily storable, so that you can easily and conveniently attach them to your running backpack. That is why we most often use folding or telescopic poles for running. With some models, the height is adjustable, with others you need to choose the length exactly for your body type. The length of the clubs should correspond to the distance from the ground to your hand, so that your shoulder forms a right angle with the forearm. There are running poles made from different materials to choose from, which also affects the weight of the poles.
