The weather was cooler today and perfect for running.

I ran the long route up the Taff Trail, heading north, from Tongwynlais to the Penrhos Cutting. This is a 1-2% grade segment that looks and feels flat until you realise it’s hurting more than normal.

I climbed and descended Craig yr Allt the same way to avoid the ferns and bracken on the south west side.

First Light Coffee was calling when I got back into the village so I stopped for a drink and quick catch up with Matt.
