How was your run this weekend – and what have you got planned for the week ahead, running-wise? From now on, we're extending the debrief blogpost to include general running chat throughout the week. Pop in as often as you like to share your runs, be inspired and ask your fellow runners for advice.
I went for a quick jog on Saturday and then spent Sunday running around lovely Joss Bay in Broadstairs, Kent. Running on sand is tough, but a bracing swim in the sea makes it more than worth it. Any devoted beach runners out there? Does it get any easier with practice, and is barefoot best?
On Tuesday I'm off to Scotland for a few days and will definitely be packing my trainers, having been inspired by this "10 reasons to run in Scotland" guide. Sadly I'm a month early for the Ben Nevis race (phew!), but I like the idea of combining running and whisky-tasting. What could possibly go wrong …? If you know any unmissable running routes between Inverness and Glasgow, I'm open to suggestions – hills are fine if the views justify the efforts, and a run ending with a swim in a loch is the holy grail.
So, over to you. What's on your running agenda this week?
