TECHNIQUE FOR RUNNING WITH ALTERNATING TRAIL POLES:
The alternating technique is more appropriate when there is less space available and a gentler slope, this technique requires less power and consists in alternating between your right and left legs, with the opposite arm pushing the pole down in front of you and the other arm behind you, in the air. In this case, it's best not to drive the pole too hard into the ground to maintain a better rhythm. Try and take smaller steps for this technique to become more natural.
