THE CHANCE OF starting off too fast and regretting it up Overstrand Road - 61%
THE UNWRITTEN RULE
Get up some speed down Mill Road to finish strong💪.
🏃♀️ THE RUN 🏃♂️
This is a nice road run, with a small woodland section🌳down the old railway line.
The long, steady climb up Overstrand Road quietly builds your rhythm. However, the pretty part of this route is the old railway line - under the tunnel of trees, everything calms down.
Start off slow. Easy up the hill. Pick up the pace on the way home.
