As there is a risk of injury, street shoes should not be used for trail running.

Here are a couple of rules to make it run smoothly:

Put aside your daily stress and enjoy moving outside within beautiful natural scenery.
Take your time! Your training will depend on your age, general health, physique, and cardio.
Pay attention to proper running and breathing techniques.
Running is fun! Monotony is the beginning of the end. Try varied your trails in length and intensity.
Warm-up: Easy stretches are recommended before and after your training. This will help the mobility of your muscles and protect you from injuring them.
Cool-down: slow down in pace. Adapt your cool-down phase to the duration of the trail.
Nutritional advice: do not eat for approx. 2 hours before your training but drink a lot of water before and during your run. After your training, eat carbs like pasta, potatoes, wheat, rice,...
Wear sweat-wicking clothes and chose the right running shoes for yourself (they should have a 1/2 inch gap at the front). Your shoes should offer shock-absorption, stabilization and the right rolling characteristics.
