My Coast Path capers all started when I signed up to do the Welsh1000 Walk, a charity event to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society.

Nothing too mad yet, just some harder, shorter intervals on the bike and some tempo runs rather than the usual low heart rate MAF zone runs. Sick Bucket Needed! Monday saw the first sunny day for...
