Describe your ideal run, ride or swim.
Running through woodlands and off trail 
In the mountains, all day, no one around - ends at a pub serving chips 
Zone 2, no pressure, sunny day, near water (river, canal, sea) 
Early morning on my own through natural surroundings. 
5k 
A sunny day with a nice bit of uphill and a gorgeous view at the top 
A long distance along a coastal path. 
Trial run in my local woods running along the mountain biking trails. 
A big adventure run! A destination somewhere on a map, pack up the bag, plenty snacks, and off I go. Taking in beautiful scenery. I don't mind the weather - it's all part of it!
12th Mar 2024
A trail run on coastal paths in the sunshine 
A long slow run along the coast with good views and not too many hills. 
Ride my sofa through the 3 original Star Wars films 
Today, it's around 10k preferably in a park, by a river or in a similar environment and on a warm but not too hot day. Most of my runs are on the road because of where I live, so it's great to do something different.
12th Feb 2024
No wind. Weather wind, not farts, I meant 
2024 means daily gym workouts, weight loss and soon as spring arrives hitting the local trails on my MTB
11th Jan 2024
One that does not hurt me knees but challenges my mind 
My ideal run is along a normal country road in a beautiful landscape. Something about running on asphalt just makes me very happy. Particularly in the summer.
3rd Jan 2024
Flat trails 😅 
Long run in the summer sun with shades on and decent playlist. 
run 10k 
Moonlit run in the snow at midnight 
A lane to myself in one of the 50m open air pools at Club La Santa 
Scenic multi terrain marathon with a pub at the end 
Trail run in the Swiss Alps 
Love running somewhere new and holiday running on the coast. 
Easy jog/walk off road, by the river 
Ideal run is an early morning blast over rough but firm ground through trees in a light drizzle. Rain always energises me
9th Nov 2023
One that I can finish. 
Presently 5k but I prefer multiple day Ultras 
Short, secluded trial. 
10kM 
Run - any run so long as it’s not baking hot.
Ride - puncture free and I’m happy.
Swim - in the sea, diving in from my boat
20th Sep 2023
Open countryside or woods, views, wildlife, time to stop for a photo and able to do it again the next day and the next ...
17th Sep 2023
Social pace with mates, or hilly and solo 
Run 
Bit of trail bit of run and bit of walk 
Anything that has free food. 
Riding a bit further than is wise but managing it anyway. With plenty of snacks and sunshine. Finishing as dusk is starting and the swifts/swallows/house martins are swooping low for insects. Lots of quiet lanes, farm tracks and forest roads.
31st May 2023
Run would undoubtedly be across the fells and woodland I am lucky enough to live close to. Nothing to think about but the ground in front of my feet. Of course running with someone is also great, esp when I run with my mum or friends.
30th May 2023
I always run best at the coast. There is nothing quite like fresh sea air in your lungs. I'm sure the views help too.
10th May 2023
When you get a good rhythm going and you just seem to float along at a good pace - you know, one of those runs when it feels so easy
22nd Apr 2023
A nice long run in the forest on a crisp autumn morning. 
Any run followed by cake. Big slab. 
Toss up between a parkrun and a marathon. I'd probably go with the 5k as there's more time to socialise with the running community over breakfast!
24th Mar 2023
Run: a nice cross-country bimble with running buddies, cackling and ranting.
Swim: cold water, cold day, hot coffee and pain-au-chocolat
Bike: Dunno, somewhere on my trusty Brompton.
14th Mar 2023
Ideal,run or ride would be somewhere coastal. I love Lyme Regis and Seaton in the summer.
In 2022 I ran in the 2nd Barmouth 10k event which was brilliant.
14th Mar 2023
2-3 hour long run in a beautiful area/nature reserve, partly cloudy and not too hot 10-15°C for easy runs
24th Feb 2023
Long solitary runs exploring new routes 
Ultra 
It's a beautiful blue sky day, with barely any wind and mild but not too hot. The birds are singing and I'm by a river or beach or lake, with no other humans nearby. Legs and lungs co-operate and the running just flows.
18th Feb 2023
Running (well walking probably) up a glorious mountain in the lake district, cruising back down grassy slopes, and finishing with chips and a pint of beer in the pub
16th Feb 2023
Cycling over to the wild North coast in West Penwith, Cornwall from Penzance to St Ives via Madron, Morvah, Zennor ... Hoping to cycle round the Isle of Arran in 2023 as I now live so near!
16th Feb 2023
Somewhere quiet, in woodland, in late spring or early autumn. 
Trail run with lots of friends and some mud. Fair weather and a dip in the tarn along the route
3rd Jan 2023
Leisurely with a coffee break 
Ideal run is in the morning as the sun comes up, not too warm. Probably along by the river.
27th Dec 2022
Anything off-road and on the trails. 
Swim, the day I got very badly sunburnt sculling around watching tiny fishes and crabs at Holkham beach. Loved it so much I moved here!
2nd Dec 2022
Honestly, It would be long, well through the night or more so I could journey into myself via fatigue and near exhaustion...... Run to fail is my preference
25th Nov 2022
A run through the woods on a chilly autumn day. 
Often when I go on holiday somewhere really beautiful, I vow to get up at dawn and go running/swimming while it's peaceful and quiet. I've never actually done it.
20th Nov 2022
Easy trails. Either alone or with friends. Cake after. 
A cool yet sunny early morning peaceful secluded long run beside a river or the countryside
17th Nov 2022
5 to 6 Miles Steady paced run with 1 or 2 people in Autumn. 
5KM Parkrun 
Run = muddy
Ride = rolling countryside (see the Randonee on the Wight)
Swim = wet and lakey
3rd Nov 2022
I generally run because I'm training for an event, so a good run would be a well executed tempo run that demonstrated I was getting fitter
12th Oct 2022
On Bolonnia beach in Spain. Any one of those. Or just a walk. 
flat swim, wind on my back on the bike and soft forest trails for a run. Perfect. 
Outside, nice weather, feeling fit! 
It was a road 5k/4M, eyeballs out, but these days a more sedate run across the Peak District hills is my ideal run.
6th Sep 2022
A trail run with good scenery. 
10k and half marathon are my favourite distances ,I have done two marathons but in the last three years but have struggled with injury once I get into the big miles so now concentrating on half marathons
24th Aug 2022
Trail run 
Ideal run is a trail, with the dog, in the highlands.
Ride would be hilly, long, and no headwind
Swim - a Scottish loch
21st Aug 2022
Trail run on a cool morning 
Where I end sweating and tired but not feeling like death ! 
Very, very long distance - at least several days. On the trails or some other rugged out-of-the-way place with beautiful scenery and definitely not crowded.
13th Jul 2022
Any run through a forest! 
When you run our 10km through the old town with everyone cheering you on and I get in under 40 minutes, that's good.
16th Jun 2022
A lovely trail run 
When you've trained consistently and you're rested and it all feels so easy. This is rare.
10th Jun 2022
Run: trailrun through the mountains 
Near water. The sea, river or canal 
A trail run over the hills, point to point with an all day breakfast at the end.
5th Jun 2022
It’s deffo a mix of trail and road not too hilly or too flat, probably winter sun, I don’t like being too warm or cold. It’s that run that feels effortless and you’re in a nice steady rhythm towards the top end of your pace. Probably a half distan
24th May 2022
Trail run, summer evening, some nice music in headphones and the sensation of endless of energy :)
20th May 2022
My ideal run is one in the height of the summer months when you go out for an evening 10K trail run but end up running a half marathon because the paths were empty, the weather was that gorgeous evening warm but not too hot.
17th May 2022
Out of my village and onto the tracks, byways and over to Stanlynch Reservoir. The view back to Salisbury is worth the hills. Continuing the circular route following the abandoned railway line. No need for speed... just breath it all in.
15th May 2022
Something challenging and different, but achievable. For a run that would mean a medium-to-long distance, some hills, varied terrain. And a decent meal and drink waiting at the end!
2nd May 2022
I'm not a massive lover of "racing" on the trails, but in terms of training runs, I love a quiet, easy trail with the trees, birds, sun glistening. I can sometimes tick off a few miles in those circumstances, and hardly realise I've done them.
2nd May 2022
Trail run in the hills/mountains, not too hot (ca 20-22 degs C ideal) with a gentle breeze
1st May 2022
Run - dry 5-10k with some hills.
Bike - dry 50-75k with big hills or mountains
Swim - dry and hills 😂
30th Apr 2022
Gently undulating tarmac (not for swimming, obvs., swimming is just an essential skill to reduce my risk of being drowned fatally to death). Not too much wind or traffic. Everything else is negotiable.
26th Apr 2022
Warm sunshine on my back. 
Nice scenery and a variety of distances, terrain. Can think of nothing worse than a track Marathon! (each to their own :) )
19th Apr 2022
Helvellyn triathlon! 
My ideal ride is on quiet roads in the country - don't mind it being hilly as long as I don't have to climb quickly!
30th Mar 2022

A mild evening run by the river when your body clicks in to autopilot 
3.5-5 miles, with music, hills 
A nice long flat ride in the countryside where you can eat up the miles and have a think.
16th Jan 2022
A few years back I went on a running holiday (I didn't know those two words could exist in together in the same sentence either). The goal of the holiday was to run UP the 12km climb of Alpe d'Huez in France. An incredible run and experience.
14th Jan 2022
I am on a base-builder and I find 'the zone'.
As you are aware, no doubt, you can't find the zone by striving for it. Like Shangri La - a place of peace. People think of Shangri La as an imaginary place; runners report finding the zone everywhere.
6th Jan 2022
My favourite run is a long Sunday route we do through Sherwood Forest, an 18 mile route which is mostly off road.
5th Jan 2022
Countryside, pleasantly cold, and miserably early in the morning 
Transcendental 
A sweeping trail with undulating hills and views that finish at a pub 😀 
A trail run in the mountains 
Ideal Run? In the sun, in the mountains surrounded by snow
Ideal Swim? In the sea in Mallorca, when it is a perfect temperature. During a sunset.
Ideal Ride? Somewhere with Hills and lots of 'em
15th Dec 2021
Short 
Run - trying to get back into doing some form of running, so a short run is ideal with some mates
Bike - coastal road bike with buddies, cake stop of course
Swim - quite happy in a pool
3rd Dec 2021
Hard session with amazing scenery in hot weather, probably near water and mountains with better than expected numbers to make me smile.
2nd Dec 2021
Solitary, in the hills, preferably offroad. 
Outside. No swimming, swimming is for fish. 
Hot, dry, sunny. (not the swim, obviously) 
I love city centre runs - big races in big international cities 
The Loch Ness Marathon route just about sums it up, well, minus the hill at Dores. A nice autumnal day with lots of colour would make it extra special.
22nd Sep 2021
With a friend, somewhere scenic & feeling fit! 
Off road, single / no tracks, varied terrain, great views, a bit wild! 
10'C, sunny, countryside trail but not too hilly and strategic water and loo stops.
9th Sep 2021
I can rule out ride or swim. Running, any race where I can maintain a good pace from start to finish and enjoy the company and supporters around me.
2nd Sep 2021
Anywhere with scenery 
It’s sunny but not too warm, running along with green all around, maybe the banks of a river - was that a kingfisher? - I’ve nowhere else to be and legs with some miles in them.
23rd Aug 2021
Gentle 10k in Rimrose Park 
one I can do... bur not swimming. fear of drowning! 
Early Sunday morning just as the sun is rising 😎 
5k, preferably fairly flat, or 10k, but can do hills if required. Also love muddy or rainy runs particularly in winter... feels like more of an achievement!
3rd Aug 2021
Exploring the east coast, not getting *too* lost, taking photos. A café stop that has great coffee and cake. Preferably fairly quiet. On a bright, cool, crisp autumn morning. Oh, and with cat fussing stops too.
31st Jul 2021
A run where you feel like your effortlessly floating; in the zone, almost on a trip, like in some kind of flow state. I've only ever experienced it a couple of times - and I want to again.
27th Jul 2021
In that zone where you feel like it will last forever, through the mountains. Basically the best bits of the Dragon's Back 2019. What an experience. Miles tick along, warm and happy. Or a cold, wet run that feels like a battle to win!
17th Jul 2021
Tollymore Co.Down, a beautiful, quiet forest with mountain views, it has hills but is a runnable loop of 21km
13th Jul 2021
Forest trails. Or hill trails. Or running in warm summer rain…on trails, obvs. 
I mostly like running and swimming, that doesn't mean I don't like f riding. I also like riding, however, I ride very often times and I am a poor rider.
2nd Jul 2021
A PB at the end of it.
Forests always seem nice. 
Cornish coastpath for a run, Holland for a ride. 
A run in the hills on a cool, sunny, autumn day. 
20 ish k’s. Just me and my music, out in some beautiful trails. 
A trip out in my motorhome to have a run, cycle, sea swim and a walk all in the same day preferable by the sea or in the woods.
22nd Jun 2021
With friends 
A nice stretch of canal towpath in the middle of nowhere, with just nature for company.
18th Jun 2021
up a mountain 
A run in the mountains 
Any run that actually feels great. Don't get them very often. 
Early summers evening, a pleasant 5km around Colwick lakes in the sunshine. Solo, just me and my thoughts. I finish, and I'm joined by a friend and then we go and swim in the lake for a bit. Bliss.
6th Jun 2021
A perfect run is under a clear blue sky, on a hilly granite trail, with a dusting of fresh snow, coming to a viewpoint, stopping and reaching for a camera and a gel, and hearing nothing.
3rd Jun 2021
A long trail run in nature ... if it has hills/mountains and fantastic views then so much the better!
28th May 2021
Early morning, sunny and peaceful. 
Ideal run would be on a firm trail in the mountains along a lovely long ridge so you’re rewarded with a panorama of wilderness. Obviously in the sun & with a breeze at my back.
25th May 2021
When I get into a flow state and it feels effortless and like I could carry on endlessly
24th May 2021
Run for fun in the rain. 
My ideal run is one of those when you don't clock watch and run on feel and it just feels good.
15th May 2021
A long run with the sun shining the birds singing and my legs just not wanting to stop
12th May 2021
Love a good, hilly trail run- and love looking up the history of the places I run through. I mean, who would not want to know that in Bunny (Nottinghamshire), there was a 17th century baronet who LOVED wrestling and collecting stone coffins?
11th May 2021
warm weather run . Sea swim. 
My ideal run is scenic and at a relaxed pace! 
Waterside sunny 10k 
Running in the woods, bluebells showing! 
Trail, hilly, hardwork 
A mix of forest and coastal footpath. Early enough to catch the sunrise but not so early to need a head torch. About 10-15km. Warm.
20th Apr 2021
6 miles, just below tempo, warm-ish, no wind, P-p-p-p-p-Poscast with Joe Posnanski.
19th Apr 2021
My ideal run is the one where I feel like I'm flying; the breeze is just right, nature is all around and there is a sense of peace.
17th Apr 2021
I seem to prefer sunny cool days 🤣 
nowadays at the age of 64, my ideal run is getting inside 40 mins for a 5 mile training run around 07.00 in the morning
11th Apr 2021
My ideal run would be in a place with beautiful views, sunshine with the odd misting of rain. There'd be lots of smiley people, no niggles or injuries and no need to pee! 🙈🤣
10th Apr 2021
Always flat 
Forest trail run 
A very long solo run in mountains/forests with nature. Not too hot, dry and no wind.
5th Apr 2021
Anything involving the Western Isles of Scotland

Where I finish wanting to continue 
nice hilly country road just behind my house like the hills peace and quiet

lets your mind wander
27th Mar 2021
5 miles down a rolling meadow..bit like sound of music..without the singing. or nazis.
26th Mar 2021
Ideal run - With 3 or 4 mates. Crisp winter day - frost on the ground but not icy. Decent pace but can still chat and have a laugh.
22nd Mar 2021
Ideal ride would be Lincolnshire flat country lanes & big skies 
The one where it all just flows. It doesn’t often happen like that, but when it does, it’s perfect
20th Mar 2021
Run: In the woods or mountains, not too hot or cold ~8C, on my own with as much time and energy to take paths at random as I felt like...
17th Mar 2021
Running along a deserted beach in Woolacombe, North Devon on an early Spring evening finishing as the sun disappears below the horizon.
13th Mar 2021
Drizzly rain, no wind, muddy farm tracks, a few ups and downs run or cycle ...... I only swim in pools abroad in the sun to cool down
13th Mar 2021
Run: I enjoy exploring new footpaths around the countryside and seeing the seasons with friends.
Swim: I love Box End, all year round. My favourite swims of 2020 were the atmospheric fog day and watching the raindrops plink into the lake.
12th Mar 2021
My ideal run would leave me exhausted but smiling at the end. 
Run - one where you finish and think 'I enjoyed that' or 'that was good' - the best sorts of runs!
9th Mar 2021
Somewhere I haven't been before 
My ideal run is an evenly paced road marathon that I have trained for properly. As I find it more and more difficult to commit to a structured training plan, though, this is being edged out by a long and slow trail marathon ... or even an ultra!
9th Mar 2021
Flat 
Run - a long run with clubmates on rolling country lanes - not too hilly - in warm but not hot sunshine with the option of a slightly faster finish. Rounded off with tea and cake somewhere afterwards
7th Mar 2021
On a sunny but not hot day, preferably trail, with friends. There will be running, walking, confiding, and so much laughter that we cry and/or wet ourselves.
7th Mar 2021
Just above freezing with a hill involved 
Frosty sunny, where the grass is all white and crunchy. No wind. Hopefully a bit of hardcore canal action as well.
13th Feb 2021
My ideal swim, would be outside, somewhere quiet and beautiful with sun shining 
A few years ago I ran in red Baywatch shorts through the surf on Cocoa Beach. Women could'nt stop waving it me & I waved playfully back whilst the wind blew through my locks. Only then realised that my flies were open and they were alerting police.
5th Feb 2021
Watching someone else do it on the tele. 
My ideal run goes off road, with a mix of trails and paths. Love to be out with a group of chums getting filthy in the mud but enjoying the views and fab scenery there is round my neck of the woods. Love finding new routes in the neighbourhood.
29th Jan 2021
Very short, very flat, very fast, very warm. With a following (legal) wind on 100m of track.
29th Jan 2021
It is a feeling, it can be anywhere on the bike or run. Everything just flows and you are at one with yourself and the surroundings. Smooth like silk.
20th Jan 2021
I used to love any race where it all came right and to plan, which thankfully I have achieved in my running career.... that covered from the fast to the challenge of just finishing, not necessarily on time. But now stored in the memory banks
10th Jan 2021
These days I don’t do many long runs so a 5 miler run anywhere between 5-5.15 per km pace is ideal
3rd Jan 2021
Trails. Mud. Winter. Long. 
A road runner at heart. Don't mind a trail run as long as it's not too hilly, too muddy, I keep my feet dry and there aren't any steep descents to hurt my knees 😉 Not keen on rain either!
7th Nov 2020
A trail run somewhere with a few hills. Or 400m on the track. 
That easy run or ride where you are not challenging yourself, not monitoring the watch and just getting miles in your legs. Let the endorphins flow and let time pass by
3rd Jul 2020
Flat, smooth and barefoot. Near water is always nice, or slightly downhill!
16th Jun 2020
Quiet mornings up in the Lakeland Fells with hardly anyone around, starting off early so you can be up high to witness the sunrise, apart from other runners normally the only people you meet are dedicated photographers!
10th Jun 2020
Along the South West Coast Path, taking it easy, stopping to collect seaglass and ideally finishing somewhere near a beach where I can go for a swim.
4th Jun 2020
Along country lanes and canal towpaths, usually with the little dog. 
The next one. 
Nice and hilly. 
Very early morning long bike ride along the lanes.

With friends and a stop in the middle for an ice-cream. 
Anything on a sunny day in a scenic, rural location. 
Forest trails 
A scenic run on the trails in the New Forest 
A run where my feet are light, I have a bounce in my step, and I am pain free.
27th Apr 2020
A nice gentle run in a sunny wood or down a canal. With just the wildlife and flowers and fresh air.
27th Feb 2020
A run in solitude, listening to Mike Oldfield or Pink Floyd, by the sea or among trees and plants. Hearing the sea and the rustle of leaves is intoxicating.
24th Feb 2020
It has to be a run - cycles are for commuting, and swimming is for other people!
Ideally temp in the low teens, dry, clear, no wind, and on tarmac! Ideally with trees/rivers around rather than urban landscape - so the cycle track of York work well!
5th Feb 2020
Solitary along trails in mid April as the first bird migrants return and the music of the natural world pervades.
24th Jan 2020
A ride with skids, jumps and wheelies!
A 10x200m threshold swim....just love the suffering, although having just done a 100x100m I can confirm this is in a different league!
Any run that involves a chat!
11th Jan 2020
Ideal run is muddy, long and social with lots of laughs. Ideal ride is a time trial on a smooth race course and my ideal swim is in a lovely cool lake such as Llyn padarn or Derwent water
8th Jan 2020
Tough question! Any run is a good run. Love a nice 10-15km early on with a bit of sunshine.
27th Dec 2019
Warm, sunny Sunday morning runs over the hills. 
My perfect run would be on a crisp cold winters Morning under blue sky with my other half. Pace would be irrelevant but my legs feel great, same for riding only through some mountains in & a
Cafe cake stop. Swimming in the Croatian sea under the sun
20th Dec 2019
I'm injured so any run would be my idea of an ideal run! 
One where I don't feel as if I'm dragging my feet through treacle and can breathe easily, ideally on trails, in the countryside, with woods and great views, probably on a sunny autumn day :-)
1st Dec 2019
A mad gallop through torrential rain to end with a river swim, or a six hour oddyssey over the moors
6th Nov 2019

Long on quiet country lanes. 
Spring or Autumn early morning misty sunshine, as far as I fancy taking as long as it takes

Flat 
On holiday, wherever that maybe, coming over a headland perhaps, and catching a new view that takes your breath away. (if there's any to take way that is!)
8th Aug 2019
Beside the sea with a few gentle inclines with Fizz :-) by my side.

26th Feb 2019
By myself, through the woods, in the springtime. 
A long group trail run preferrably with forest and hills

9th Jan 2019
Running through woodland, descending through mud or snow. 
A day out in the hills either to run or walk. 
Out in the countryside with the sounds of nature. 
on country lanes with the early morning sun giving some warmth but a light frost on the fields. No one about except me and the wildlife
3rd Nov 2018
A long downhill run with gentle descent and strong tailwind 
Myself and the open road with plenty of interest along the route 
Longish run somewhere pleasantly semi-rural, canal path or wooded footpaths or similar, with plenty of time and a small backpack with snacks. Maybe an audiobook to listen to.

Quite fond of Scottish island events, small fields, great locations and lots of camaraderie.
25th Sep 2018
A 12 hour time trial on a straight out and back dual carriageway - air pressure low, humidity low, zero wind and about 73deg F.

6th Aug 2018
A run where everything clicks into place and you feel as if you could run for ever!
16th Jul 2018
Trails with a view at the top, sun but nice shade in the trees!
Did some cycling in grenoble area of France, perfect!
6th Jul 2018
A nice long Sunday run, in the valleys of mountains, fresh air filling my lungs, views for miles and miles around, bumping into the odd runner along the way. Twenty miles plus is a must. At the end feeling tired but so happy you dont want to stop.
4th Jul 2018
With a Fetchie or OH, sunny and warm, feeling easy. I like a nice view, but equally happy to run along the canal or in our local urban park. I like a good OW or sea swim too, though.
27th Jun 2018
My most brilliant run so far was when Mr Ness ran with me before breakfast while we were on holiday in Venice for my 50th birthday. We had St Mark’s Squares to ourselves and it was so peaceful! Any run would be ideal if I had Mr Ness beside me though

Ripon Standard Triathlon. Lovely long loop of a swim, fast flat bike through pretty Yorkie villages and a flat 10km along the towpath and surrounding roads. Jazz band and garden hoses provided FOC. With an excellent BBQ and sponsored by a brewery! :)

A rolling, summer run through woods and coutryside 
Ideal swim: in the sea off a Greek beach, crystal clear water so you can see your shadow on the bottom and it's warm. Ideal run - on my own, or with friends, away from traffic but on a good path, up to 10 miles. Ideal bike ride: do they exist?

An easy run with friends, or a hard sesh with friends. 
A run where I can hear the birds sing, smell the flowers and chat to the people walking their dogs.
15th Jun 2018
Ideal run - one that doesn't feel like a lot of hard work (doesn't happen often enough!)
15th Jun 2018
Ideal swim - a near empty, clear, blue, lake with sun shining. (Not ideal in safety terms, I know, but so peaceful).
Ideal run - early morning in de Malpie in summer, before the bugs are out, the mist still lingers over the water, and nothing hurts.

2 or 3 hours, off-road, in the sun, easy pace, finishing at a pub. Preferably somewhere high-up.

Off road along narrow twisting turning paths for both running and cycling

The octopus is coming for me. It has a knife. A knife! I duck beneath its reaching tentacles and strike home with my sword, the mighty blade Pointy. At last the finish line approaches. I decapitate the final vampire taking bronze. Not gold. Be real.

Early morning run along the Camel Trail from Padstow to Wadebridge 
10 miles on trails and footpaths in the company of a dozen clubmates and friends.

My favourite run was my 10k run round the ring road in springtime watching the spring flowers slowly show up

Trail, quiet woods and moors, when training has being going well and everything is effortless and you can just switch off and relax...
14th Jun 2018
Running in the high mountains over rock, snow and lush green meadows. 
Off-road in Wales... 
It's more of a feeling I get sometimes. Imperceptible downhill on a long straight stretch of warm tarmac, arms and legs in perfect perpetual motion. Usually lasts a couple of minutes before a carful of youths drive past.

An undulating trail run with good friends, with lots of stops on the way to enjoy the view.

Swim: Wraysbury, with a bacon sandwich afterwards ;-)
Run: anywhere in Hyde Park
Bike: anywhere traffic free

Very occasionally I do a run where the perceived effort is very low vs the pace being run, like you are gliding along unstoppable. I have no aches or pains and a big smile on my face.
14th Jun 2018
I like to run in the off road. Hills, remote places, or country lanes, or the beach. And while I'll happily do runs by myself, it's more fun with friends, isn't it? Fresh air, pretty scenery, exploring new places with friends old or new. :-)

My ideal swim / bike / run (get the order right, fetch!) would involve all three and all my tri buddies in an standard length triathlon.
