Porthkerry 5: multi-terrain running race

This morning Mark took part in the Porthkerry 5, it's a 5 mile off road (multi-terrain) running race held in Porthkerry Park, near Barry. It's a tough race, all off road, with some tough, tough hills thrown in at several points in the race, plus some running on grass and a short section on the beach just to spice things up a bit!

Mark was using this race as a training race in the run up to his 'A' race of the season (a triathlon in Holland in July as part of the GB off-road triathlon team) and managed a very creditable 7th pace in a very large field of runners!

Mark provides one-to-one running, cycling and triathlon coaching and online training plans, so if you're in Cardiff, Penarth, Barry, Cowbridge or further afield in the Vale of Glamorgan and are contemplating getting a coach to guide you through your 2013 season contact Mark or visit the coaching pages here on the WhittleFit website for more details on the running coaching services that Mark provides.
