*Attempt to get as many miles as possible on soft surfaces. Stocksdale Park is excellent. English Landing Park in Parkville is also great. Platte Purchase Park has an asphalt trail that you can run along the side of for much of the loop. Dirt roads, if you can find them, are fantastic. Asphalt is next, then as a last resort sidewalks. Try to avoid sidewalks and run in the road against traffic so you are always facing oncoming cars. Sidewalks are too level and hard and present problems with RSI – repetitive stress injuries.
