A running circumnavigation of Purbeck had been at the back of my mind for a while. One of those annoying ideas that you know you’re just going to have to try some time. I have been loving building up my running during lockdown which had peaked with of an 18ker to St Alban’s Head and back.

One Saturday morning I woke up and got the urge and set off to see how far I could get. Eventually I made it back to Swanage, 32k later!

Thoughts:

  • I got wobbly legs for the last 4km or so
  • Didn’t think about nutrition anywhere near enough
  • It was a HOT day which didn’t help
  • I was consciously try to make it a meter for every personal who had sadly died of COVID 19 at the time.
  • I am constantly surprised by how far you can run is in your mind.
  • Made me really appreciated that you can achieve some fulfilling projects from your front door.
