Interesting, I’ve been thinking of giving a road run a go. Well done on the run 😁

I ran on a cycle path instead of fields, I think the grass is a bit too soft due to all the rain which might have made it more difficult? Give it a go 👍🏻

Well done, but do be aware that a hard surface transmits more impact stresses.

Tough call... grass or tarmac.

I find it so much easier to run on tarmac. But I know it's worse for joints!

This running malarkey isnt straight forward is it? 😆
