See, you're already starting to work it out. With trail running you figure out ways to get your feet on the surface you want. That's why I've been so appreciative of leaf litter lately.
Not that crushed gravel is easy. Sometimes you just have to go over it and it sucks. But part of the fun of trail running is constantly adjusting to make things as comfortable as possible.
