Finally ran a 10K trail run event on Sunday at National Trust Saltram, first time ever for me. My running is usually interval in nature and interspersed with either other circuit-style conditioning / strength exercises, hiking or stops at the beach etc. I only actually did a continuous 6k for first time the week before. It was pretty hilly but not severe and we had very strong winds throughout (50+mph gusts - felt like about 0-1C with windchill). 2 minutes after I crossed the finish line (52mins 33 - not fast but not a bad first attempt for an old timer like me lol !) the heavens opened into a hailstorm so I'm very glad I pushed when I did haha.
Legs really felt it but went for hill sprint training this morning and no worse. No more long runs for me for a few days because I am also doing this on Saturday this coming weekend (the 10K on Sunday was to prepare me a little bit for it )

It's a beast. Course record 10K over 50 mins and altitude profile say it all. Forecast is feels like 0-1 degree C but sunny with >20mph winds on those exposed sea cliffs. I'm hoping the awesome setting will compensate for the discomfort that's inevitably on the way
