Anyone got opinions on choosing a route to run? I'm doing the same 3 mile (plenty of walking at the end) route as I can see each run how much I improve. It's a mix of gravel, grass and tarmac and some hills. Not making life easy for myself...

Hey Weavil may sound silly but have you tried to reverse the route start where you finish and take it from there 👍

I kept pretty much to the same route until I graduated, but my choice entirely, as it is yours. The only thing I'd caution against is suddenly taking on hills you're not used to - they're a real killer!

Keep changing routes so you don’t get bored. Fan out and back in all directions from your home. Or take the car or public transport to somewhere new
I integrate runs with shopping and errands I have got to know my area like the back of my hand 😁.
I use goodrunguide for sussing runs beforehand but Google map is a good help too. Goodrunguide has the footpaths shown which is dead handy
