A partially hilly trail run on a Sunday morning. On a back-to-back run day, after running 12 miles yesterday, I set out for a 4-5 mile, 1 hour trail run in the South Mountain Reservation’s Lenape Trail. What i did not evaluate properly ahead of the run was that this trail is not an easy one. I should have checked the elevation profile and some of the reviews of other runners. It’s hilly in parts and definitely mildly technical.
Further, many trails crisscross and that means one has to be very aware of the maps to make sure I don’t go away on an unplanned escapade.
All in all, it was an excellent experience both from a trail run perspective as well as giving my legs a good workout.
I treated myself to a Chocolate GU gel at the end of the run 🙂
