So I've always wanted to run along by a seafront . Then yesterday I had the opportunity to do so and it didn't disappoint.
It was a bit wet and a strong wind coming off the sea but it was brilliant. I ran along as far as i could go then out on the pier to the lighthouse and then turned back.
Now I've had a go i want to do more π
Sounds delightful !
Something i would also like to do ππ
It was brilliant. I've always seen other people's posts on here of beach front runs and always wanted to do it myself.
ππ
Glad you enjoyed a tour of one of our west coast beaches. Looking typically grey but beautiful. Might see you there one day. π
I used to go to Ayr every year as a child as an organised bus day trip and loved it.
I've then took my own 2 daughters quite a few times when they were wee.
It was grey it was wet but it was beautiful and I really enjoyed it. π
Takes a lot to beat running by the sea, glad you got this opportunity to, and that it didnβt disappoint
I don't think anything could beat it . I really enjoyed it . It only takes just over an hour to get there by car. π
Well worth the drive then
Lovely Buddy! Iβm so glad you got to run by the sea. I ran Ayr seafront back in February when we were up to see my in-laws (those were the days). I ran to Doonfoot and back which is in the opposite direction to you. The wind was strong and so cold. Definitely an invigorating run! I hope you got views of Arran and Ailsa Craig? ππ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ
It was a bit foggy out to sea to see much . But i loved itπ
Love this!! How awesome that you could do this. It looks really pretty there. Nice one Buddy. Running takes us to beautiful places πππ you were in your element π§
It was great GTFC. Just to run somewhere totally different ππ
On my list as well. Sounds fantastic
It just felt so great to run along by the sea and breathe in the fresh sea air instead of running on the pavement next to the roadsπ
You took 4 really nice photos of the Ayr seafront that you ran along yesterday, it was too misty to see Ailsa Craig (which I have been to when on holiday in Girvan) and Arran.
The only time I have ran at the seaside was my graduation run along the seafront at Helensburgh.
So beautiful! Running by the sea is the best βΊοΈ and it sounds like a really solid run too, well done!
You're right , it was the best. Now I want more π€£
That's it, you're going to have to move π€£
I wishπ€£
I've only run by the sea a few times but I totally get what you mean. Sounds like you had a great time and I'm sure we'll see some more pictures of you by the sea soon π
Thereβs nothing like it Buddy. I am blessed to run on the coast in south west and in wales... always more fabulous when you can see the sea.
Glad you were able to run by the coast, and that fresh sea air. Not something Iβve done in this country yet, not quite the same in warmer climatesπstill something for me to consider. Lovely part of the world.
Oooh I bet that was just so refreshing.... deep breaths now .... just lovely π₯°
Can't wait to do it again sometime π
I bet you canβt π
Love it! I have walked that beach, but never ran it! Certainly beach running is now also on my bucket list!
Sounds amazing Buddy. It seems like you'll be back soon - hopefully on a clear day. It soothes the soul. π
It really felt great and i loved the fresh sea air ππ
Several seafront parkruns down that way, though Ayr parkrun isnβt one of them. Iβm lucky enough to live in Arbroath so probably at least half of my runs are by the sea. I love it too. Also, itβs the only flat route in town π
So glad you enjoyed it! I always run along the prom here. It's just glorious looking out at the sea.
It definitely was beautiful to look at while running π
Two of our children went to school by Ayr seafront. Winter views of sunrise over a snowy Goatfell with pink tinges to the waves are a great memory. Also being driven off the sea front by sand in the gale force winds! I didn't run in those days.
Great memories to have. It was really windy when I was there but I didn't care. Just to be able to run with a view if the sea was brilliant π
Lovely Buddy...I've only done it once, on a holiday in Barmouth this time last year, I loved it too.
It's windy and you get sand in your eyes, and whip lash from your hair but surely that's half the fun ππ
10K flat seafront run
A Disappointing Run π
What a faff of a run
A run along the canal...
