Waterloo 15k Photos - Updated more photos added

Photos from the Waterloo 15k. Not sure which year these were taken. They were taken over two years - possibly 1993 and 1994 but let me know if anyone can identify the year. Click on the slide show below to view full size or download photos.



Many more to be added so check back here over the next few days

Run Lanzarote

Just a week since we returned from a two week break in Lanzarote. A good relaxing holiday but plenty of opportunity to run! Despite the high temperatures, I managed to run 8 days out of 14. My daily run was around 50 minutes along the hilly, rocky coastal trails around the Papagayo Peninsula. There were some big hills to tackle as well as some sandy paths that reminded me of Ainsdale. The hills were particularly challenging - with no real paths to follow - difficult to run in places. Too rocky and dangerous to reach the very top but well worth the effort with some stunning views of Playa Blanca, the Papagayo beaches and across to Fuerteventura. Below are some photos from my holiday training routes.



I took advantage of one cloudy day for a slow 2 hour run along some very challenging paths.

Route on Garmin



Although we didn't get a chance to run together we did manage to meet up with Andy Hudson and Vicky Harvey who were on holiday further down the coast. Tales of my holiday running adventures must have motivated them, the following day they hired bikes for an 80km ride and the day after that ventured out for their first Lanzarote run.
