This Challenge is to ditch the road and gym for trail running. Go off-road and into nature!
Take to the Trails Challenge rules
“This was amazing! The ground was so soft and comfortable and the trail so shaded and cool that I felt like I could have gone on forever! :) It was a lot of fun too.... Like an obstacle course except free!!!! :P ”

So I finally made it out into the wild frontier, since the biggest challenge is not being able to have my wife accompany me,(she doesn't run, but does Nordic walking) with our older Parson Russel terrier, Cookie who happens to be blind. There is no way to expect her to maintain even a slow pace and my wife does not like to walk alone in the forest, really can't blame her since the wild boar are starting to look for food and come ever closer to towns, so taking a through the woods can become quite suprising. Although on Sunday mornings this area of the forest is flooded with city folk who come out with their families to enjoy a little nature and fresh air.
I ran along the supposedly 5km running trail and as I always guessed and my Garmin proved the course is 500m short, but what the heck it is a nice run. It is alot more work to concentrate on sure footing amongst the moss covered sandstone and roots, part of the run passes around what used to be a Celtic fortification that is over 2000 years old, the archeologists have resumed researching there for the past decade as funding is available so it really is a interesting course.

An enjoyable run, hilly to start which meant a speedier decent, plenty of mud too

Margaret L I put on my new trail shoes today and went for a 11.2k run including some off road running for the first time. I really enjoyed it - got really muddy! Need to get in a bit more training for a 5 mile trail race on 23rd December.
Kirsten M encouraged this.
Andy B This was a fairly easy as almost all my running is off road trailrunning, single track or prepared trails even rock hopping and mud plugging in our local quaries! I find road miles very dull in comparison!
Rick P encouraged this.
Hazel C I ran my first ever off-road race today - Mad Jack's Five at Attingham Park nr Shrewsbury. 5 miles - hard work but great especially having to wade through mud and water. I might be hooked ;-)
encouraged this.
Off road racing is a slog but you feel brilliant running about in the wild! I did my first 'proper' one the other month - and yep, very very muddy! :-) Well done, and if you find others you're going to enter you could post them as Challenges!
Hazel C encouraged this.
I like that idea, Sam :-)

I completed a 9.5km trail run through Daisy Hill Forest today. It was great to get back to nature and just have the sound of the birds and the rustle of the trees to listen to. I'll do this run again on Sunday,

Why not ask for some advice from other Challenge takers, or read some of the Challenge guides first?
OK, I'll keep working at it!Loading
