RUN 96 - Severn Beach, England

I took a short drive before todays run to continue varying the terrain of each run. The river Severn separates England from Wales and is crossed by two bridges, the Severn has the second highest tidal range in the world; something like 20 feet I think. The river is lined by some small old and new villages, the tidal wall for which provides an ideal running track. Varied in terrain from concrete to gravel to grass and mud, it's flat but very exposed to the coastal winds, which is just the kind of environment I like to train in. The more challenging the training runs, the easier it is to face up to the challenge if racing. [4.01m - 32:12 - 08:17/m]
