Demanding 7km road/trail run

[davelinks]

Had a good club run yesterday evening, although quite demanding starting on road with a steep long hill, then off road in the grounds of a private school using their cross-country course in woodland, which is about a circuit, again there were some steep descents as well as ascents, and bumps & hollows in the grass, as seen in the pic, so had to watch out! but in the evening sun glinting through the trees( sounding like old floss now😊) it was a pleasant time, until the other members said then to do the circuit again in reverse, I passed on that! As the backs of my legs were starting to nag! so thought wise not to do it..😰

That looks a great place to run - lovely. And well done on the 7K!

Goodness, I'd say 7K n that sort of terrain was more than enough! Well done!

Some of it was on road...

Surely it would have been dark by the time the reverse runners got back! Think you made the right call.

[davelinks Graduate10 in reply to Slowstart]

No, wasn't dark, but they turned back to find me because I gave up on it to protect myself..

Lovely picture Dave, looks great! Well done! (and I don't blame you for passing on that second lap!!)

Well done Dave, looks very nice that .I don't blame you either for passing up on that reverse lap ! xxx

[Noaky12 Graduate10]

That looks gorgeous. I might have passed out on the hills never mind a reverse lap!!! 😉

[davelinks Graduate10 in reply to Noaky12]

It also played up on my mind, as too much for me..so you have to call it a day!

Cheeky!

It sounds like a beautiful run and what a lovely photograph too. What a super way to spend a balmy evening... (that is balmy with a 'l' not an 'r'. )

Looks great. Good call - better to enjoy what you do than push to not enjoying.
