Greetings from (mostly) sunny Fowey! Having arrived on Sunday, this morning was the perfect time for a first run. Level is not really on the agenda round here, so there was nothing for it but to dig deep and get climbing! I started at 7.30 to avoid the heat and after a slightly hairy jog through the narrow streets avoiding oncoming traffic, I was soon up overlooking the town with Polruan in the distance across the estuary. It was all downhill from there, making a nice 5.2k and scrambled egg on toast in our little apartment with the river lapping outside. Happy running all!
Now that's what I call hills!: Greetings from... - Bridge to 10K
Now that's what I call hills!
Great running, beautiful views and scrambled egg on toast . What else could you ask for 😊😊
Happy holiday running JP, earning those Cornish pasties! 😊xx
Haven't been to Fowey for a while, certainly not since I've been running. Just a little bit jealous here 😊
It looks lovely J, hope the rest of your break goes well. Flat terrain is definitely hard to find in the West Country.
Thanks - the sense of achievement when you get to the top is great!
Ooo lovely on every count Jonathan! Have a great stay and enjoy those hills! 🏃🏃🏃
Well done for running through fowey Jonathan- although it might be easier than driving through it! It’s a good job you’ve done hill training at home. Your holiday flat sounds lovely - have a great time.
Looks lovely Jonathan I stayed In Newquay late June start of July had a fantastic time you must get down to st ives it’s absolutely beautiful and the sea is bliss enjoy your running and your holiday 😉
Fowey is lovely! We often stay in Golant & walk there through the woods. Lanhydrock has a Parkrun - we haven't managed it yet but it's on the 'to run' list. Enjoy your hols!
Ooh that does look steep! Just think that when you get back home your regular runs will feel easier 🙂
Enjoy the rest of your holiday and think of it as training time 😎
Thanks IP - yes that would be a bonus!
Ah you've made me homesick for my holiday! We were in that neck of the woods for a whole blissful week. Came back home yesterday but could've happily stayed much longer! Happy running 👍
Good timing! Gotta love park run dedication! 😁
I’m envious! We often stay in Polruan and the thought of running up the 1:3 hill out of the village is a sobering thought, but once up and on top, its reasonably level except the high sided roads are narrow and you certainly need your wits about you and deffo no wearing earphones.
I wish I was there now. Lovely place.
