Tip of the Week 50 Coach Julie's favourite runs
I thought I would round off my tips of the week with a short list of the best places I've run around the world. Maybe you'll get some ideas of great places to run or think about your own favourite runs.
- Petra at 6 am. If you are staying near Petra you must take your running shoes along and get to the entrance gate when it opens at 6am. You can then run down the siq in almost complete quiet and see the main sites without any people, very atmospheric. Take a camera as well, as it will be your only chance to take photos without anyone in the way.
- Wadi Bih relay. The most fun you can have in a race, great atmosphere all day, fantastic scenery and a great day out. If you haven't run it already, it's a must for next year!
- London Marathon. (The other big city marathons may be just as good, but I’ve only done London.) If you feel ready and willing to do a marathon you will be cheered all the way from the start to the finish and there will be no shortage of drinks, toilets and other essentials.
- My home run. If you find yourselves in South Oxfordshire in the UK, give me a shout and I can take you on my favorite run back home. This is a 10 mile loop along the River Thames and through Chilton hills and woods. It passes through the villages of Shiplake, Dunsden and Sonning Eye. The only downside is that it can become muddy and impassable in winter.
- Any off-road run in 5-10 cm of fresh snow. I’ve done this in Canada, England and France and running in fresh snow is always quiet, refreshing and makes me feel alive! (Best followed by a very warm bath and hot chocolate.)
- And last but not least; any run with the ABRaS running club!
