Cornish fell running
Back from holiday - the world seems to have moved on in the last week and a bit doesn't it?
Was able to get out for some 30 min+ outings while away. Since we were right on the coast near Mevagissey, these were of necessity excursions along the SW coastal path - with steep climbs and drops - quite different from anything I've ever done before! Made me appreciate how difficult fell running is at any rate. We'll see if it's made any positive difference to my performance in the next few days...

funny you mention that about the Cornish Coastal Path. I was in Port Isaac a couple of weekends back and ran on the same path you mention albeit on the North Central coast. It nearly killed me!! My quads the next day felt like I'de been out for an 18 miler!!!

I actually found I felt the effects the following day at the tops of my hamstrings (or higher - is that a different muscle group?).
The other thing I didn't mention was going downhill - a sport in its own right on the unfenced cliffs when you're trying to pick out a safe footing with the sweat just having got into your eyes and made them water....I didn't dare go out the one day it rained at Mevagissey.
Don't mention wind - we get plenty enough here on the NW tip of the Wirral peninsula....
