Due to my current trail shoes not being that great in thick mud, I recently haven’t done as much trail running as I’d like. I need to rectify it, not only because it’s better training for my goal, but because it’s kinder on the joints, and I’m starting to get more grumbles. I actually had to forego today’s run due to a bad back, and I just hope that it’s okay by Tuesday when I’m next due to go out. Fingers crossed a combination of walking, stretches, and the massage chair Claire lent me will sort me out.
The other bonus of trail running is the scenery. It’s far nicer to see water, trees, and trails than concrete, cars, and yet more concrete. Though to be fair, Cardiff does have some pretty parks, so even on road runs I get to see a bit of green at least once per run.
Fantastic
