Mountain jogging

[Joggingonthewildside]

So I’m in the Alps and after a weeks inactivity got my shorts on today and off I went trying to work out a route with not too many hills .. impossible.. started off ok and then ended up fast walking .. managed 3.3kms but at least I had this fab view to keep me company.

Look at those lovely hills! I’m looking forward to my fell running weekend in Snowdonia in a couple of weeks ⛰

I love the Alps, walked the Tour du Mont Blanc 3 years ago...amazing views. Would love to go back now and run a bit now that I am officially a runner! Enjoy 😉

I certainly didn’t feel like a runner ..bit of a shock to the system I think sooo slowly does it for me

Wonderful view and well done you for getting those running shoes on.

That looks absolutely gorgeous! I had my (first) honeymoon there and can still smell the wonderfully fresh mountain air and hear the cow bells 🤗

All that mountain running will pay big dividends when you get back home. Enjoy the rest of your stay.

Gorgeous. I am green with envy 😁

Just reading your title had me feeling jealous lol!

My very first non-family holiday (with boyfriend at the time) was to the alps. Many years ago now but I still remember it well.

I imagine just fast walking those hills will give you great exercise, calorie burn and muscle strengthening!
