Walking a new running route

I will admit discovering this route by mistake. After the hard, steep slog to the point at the 31 minute mark, I wrongly assumed the road would drop to my start point. (Note to self: take maps).

The highest point in fact came at the 60 minute marker.

Such incredible views of the Albere hills and in beautiful deciduous trees.

The downhill was a relief even if the last 30 minutes meant watching out for suburban traffic. (Note to self: wear hi viz).

Working on taking the plunge in running shoes now. Next week. Perhaps.

A good practice walk where you intend to run 10K next week HeavyFoot, personally I prefer to run off road around a circuit, park etc, 3 or more times than run on a main road, I have had enough on roads and traffic with cycling so I am not running where there is a lot of traffic, just be careful about that run next week, good luck.

You’re absolutely right,Al. I would much rather run off-road. Ironically, it was a racing cyclist coming downhill who most nearly crashed into me!

Go for it!!
