My First Trail Run

Today was the 30km #northdownsrun was my first trail event and loved it!!

I'm a total lone wolf when it comes to running, which I put down to being too scared of pushing my boundaries and stepping up the pace.

Today I ran with a friend (that talked non stop which totally took my mind off running being boring) and swapped the pavements of central London to the trails of the north downs. It's an absolutely gorgeous route through wheat fields 😂 woodlands, tiny pathways, villages, up some big hilly terrains.

The varied terrain was really enjoyable. I lived on the top of the north downs for 25 years of my life and choose to start running on it when I'm living in London... Convenient.

I don’t have trails on my doorstep but I look forward to running more on the trails.

I’d love to hear about your favourite UK and European trail events.
