Coast path running in Wales
Cliff-top singletrack, endless small climbs, and the wind. Wales has more of this than almost anywhere.
The Wales Coast Path runs about 870 miles around the entire country - the first national coast path of its kind anywhere - and a large proportion of it is excellent running.
The recurring theme across every section is the same: the profile lies. Coast running looks flat on a map and is not, because the path descends to every cove and climbs back out. Plan coastal distances at mountain pace, not road pace, and you will finish happy.
