We headed to Cwmbran parkrun<\/a> and completed their winter\/B course. This is on for one more week before it changes to the summer course. It was also my first return to running after resting my foot and wearing a fracture boot. The second Saturday of the month meant it was pacer week too.<\/p>\n\n\n

Location of Cwmbran parkrun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Getting there was fairly straight forward with the SatNav. People also seemed really patient of the 20mph speed limit. We arrived fairly early but the sizeable (FREE) carpark was already getting quite busy. By the time we left there were cars parked everywhere and people just waiting to take our space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively there is a train station right opposite.<\/p>\n\n\n

There are no toilets but it is about a 10 minute walk to the shops (which includes a McDonalds). It was actually about the same time to walk here from the carpark, then drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cwmbran parkrun is in such a stunning location – which made for a beautiful run. Apparently the A course also goes around a lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cwmbran parkrun Alternative Course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cwmbran parkrun alternative course is all on tarmac path. It is an out and back of 2 loops, with a splitting off to the left for a slight incline finish. Someone kindly warned me of the ramp as I was finishing too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
