2025 Hadleigh (London 2012 Olympics Legacy) 10k Trail Run
Well, it’s done. My first ever Trail Run.
This was an interesting challenge. The thing I hate most when running is elevation. I’m rubbish with hills, and this had plenty of them, not to mention the mud making downhill sections especially slippery and tricky.
For some reason my elbow hurts. Everything else feels fine.

This is my first run post. These are primarily an indulgence for myself in place of some other system for recording what events I ran in years past.
