It didn’t feel too hot today but I really felt it. I drank way more water than normal. I stayed in the shade for most of the run and saw about 7 sausage dogs!

After the terrible flooding in Gwaelod-y-Garth this week, I headed east and into the shade of the Wenallt.

I had a quiet week on the running front so I was excited to get out this morning for a long run. The bluebells are still out in the Wenallt so I enjoyed a gentle loop enjoying the colour and dappled light. Then I headed up to Craig yr Allt, which was a lot busier…

After Sunday’s long run, last night’s downpour and the forecast for the Easter holidays, I’d written off this week. I was very surprised then to see the sun come out this afternoon, so I grabbed my Long Sky 2s and hit the trails. My plan for this summer is to explore the Wenallt as much…

This lovely spot is deep into Coed y Wenallt. I’ve never taken full advantage of these woods but I intend to change that this year. I’ve run quite a few miles through them with the CDF Runners’ TNT group. Although these were at night so they didn’t help me get to know the area very…

I braved the spooky woods of the Wenallt on Halloween to join the CDF Runners for their weekly TNT session. In the safety of a group we enjoyed a blast down to Fforest Fawr and back up again. I avoided the tricks (hidden rocks and roots) and enjoyed a treat (Cornish pasty) when I got…

It was the first anniversary of CDF Runners’ Thursday Night Trails (TNT) session tonight so I joined a big group for some fun in the forest. The darkness set in just as we set off so head torches were fired up as we blasted through Fforest Fawr. We looped round and crossed over Rhiwbina Hill…

The stars aligned and I managed to get out for tonight’s TNT run with CDF Runners. We met in Fforest Fawr so I had a couple of miles from home to warm up. There was a big group running the longer route. The rain stopped so we enjoyed a muddy but relatively dry run. I…

I needed this run today! I’ve been feeling quite stressed with work and personal issues. I finally got round to exploring the Wenallt a bit more and definitely found some trails I’ve not run before. The weather was great but there were still some muddy sections. I’ve just passed 400 miles in my Saucony Peregrine…

I really wasn’t feeling motivated this morning. It was hard going and the first 3 miles felt like 6! I was close to cutting it short and heading home but I dug in and carried on. The forecast was nice today but it was grey and overcast for the whole run. I’m running in a…
