Hi all,

Some of you are aware that I’ve been on holiday and therefore not been around much on here.... anyway I’m now back and wanted to share with you my postcard of holiday running.

So to my delight Tossa had an abundance of trails 🀩. However these trails were like mountains!!! A whole new experience of running, and there’s me thinking I knew about trails!! These were knarly, steep, dangerous in parts, slippery, uneven, hot BUT amazingly beautiful. I walked as briskly as I could up the steep parts which were often steps dug in to the side of the cliff. Downhill was tough as in parts it was actually rock climbing over giant craggy stones and roots. I passed a lot of other runners who were also walking and a couple of fit looking athletic men who ran UP the cliffs...... I was so in awe. My aim is to get like that one day, go back to Tossa and run up the mountain!!

The other rather lovely aspect was to run and then jump in the sea for a swim at the end.... wow it was just bliss as I got incredibly hot and sweaty.

Vid is me on the trail to give you a flavour... happy Panthering everyone and here’s to what the next season of running will bring 😺

What a gorgeous view..... but no chance to watch it while running with those big rocks on the path! I find if I let my gaze wander at all, my feet always find the rocks and I trip (3 times on my run last week, fortunately I caught myself each time!). It looks like a wonderful place to run and enjoy the scenery while catching your breath or stopping to take pictures.

Oh! We just come back from a family holiday in Tossa de Mar lovely place. Didn't do any running as I didn't know the area but did plenty swimming

No way? We only got back yesterday. We stayed at the GHT hotel it was so good. I found the trail by accident and then discovered there’s loads in the tourist info. I hope you enjoyed it?

Fantastic effort, like the Alliecat above, I would have been falling half way down looking the views, but it looks gorgeous. I bet your legs are glad to come home!!! :D

That looks fabulous, and I never cease to be amazed at how you can video while running.

I need to find somewhere nice to un as I'm struggling with motivation and am supposed to be training for a half marathon in October.

Tossa de Mar was my very first ever trip abroad (girls week aged 21). All we did was drink and look for boys, stumbling over cobbles and strolling on the sand ... no running, no thoughts of running, no trails ... ha we had no idea! :D :D :D
