A fab run in Parc Taf Bargoed 🏃🏞️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[Mike_Bravo]

Having spent a couple of days with my new partner here in Caerphilly (nr Cardiff, Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿) I knew I had a run to do 🏃

As part of my 10k plan on w3r3 it was a 40 minute run, and I found 'Parc Taf Bargoed' 5 minutes away.

It was a lovely place to run, and I found some rhythm to my pace quickly. I'll just get the stats out of the way in case anyone's interested:

In 40 minutes, at an average pace of 5:28, I covered 7.32km. I was fastest at the time I finished too, going 4.44 per km.

For this run it's not really about the stats that made it so memorable though, it's just having the opportunity to spend an hour in a lovely place away from the road, taking in all the surroundings and listening to some great music. I intentionally missed certain routes to visit next time, but that being said I would happily do the same route again. My partner, not (yet) a runner, doesn't quite know how lucky she is to have somewhere so nice and tranquil so near.

I hope your runs are going well and you're enjoying this warmer weather. My other runs this week went well, I just didn't post because there wasn't anything worth saying 🙂

Sorry Cheeky, I didn't see any baby animals!

Beautiful!

Can I also recommend the Taff Trail for running on when you are next here?

Thanks Stoozie 😊 when I used to live in Cardiff I took every opportunity to spend as much time on the taff trail as I could, and I'll definitely return when I live in Wales again.

Well in that case Mike ........ *flounce*

😅😅

Just teasing! I don’t need baby animals in every post - just as many as possible! 👍😀

That run sounded idyllic Mike. What a fabulous spot - and what epic stats! Well done you! 🏃👍👏

What a lovely place to run... and what a great pace in that last km 🏃‍♂️ 💨

I’m sure you’ll enlighten your partner as to just how lucky she is soon enough!

Happy running.
