Which is better? 6 miles on the road or the grass.?

Question

oue coach is giving us a choice today so i cant decide.

Answer 1

grass is miles better for preventing injury, but if you want a good quality effort then you would run slightly quicker on road.  I'd choose grass though

Answer 2

go with the grass it is softer and easier on your body as well. if it is hot out side where you are it will also be a lot cooler on the grass.. SO GO GREEN TODAY

Answer 3

It is better when possible to train on a soft surface. Grass is much better than the road. It will be better on your joints and feet.

Answer 4

Grass is better for your joints. The shock load of the road can end up in slow injuries like shin splints after a while.

Answer 5

i would say concrete... but if the grassey area isnt too bumpy then go for it. but whenever i run on grass it makes my feet bend all over the place cause the ground is so uneven

Answer 6

grass. the concrete is much harder on your joints and knees.

Answer 7

i'd say grass.

it's easier on your legs, it doesn't pound down like the pavement does.

if you have leg problems, injuries, go on the grass.

grass, especially if it's a long run.

Answer 8

grass is kinder to your feet

Answer 9

on the grass because if you run on the road then you can get this thing called stone bruise in your heel and it hurts A LOT!

Answer 10

-Basically grass is much better cause it is softer causing less strain on joints. but make sure it is all even throughout the way and well cut (not too long)

-BUT if you expect rains, or wet grass then go for the road , cause it will be slippery. u will not fall but will waste energy when your feet slips a little at the end of each step (i.e. no firm grip on the ground)...hope i explained this well.

- Also if your shoes are good shock absorbents then both trails will be the same.

good luck
