Last weekend, TCRC members Lorraine Parker and Gary Ingrey visited the wine region of East Sussex and Kent for the trails and vines event, where they ran on surrounding trails while exploring vineyards and enjoying wine and local produce!
The pair’s first run went through local trails to the Gusbourne Vineyard, followed by some wine tasting, before being introduced to a speedwork session the following day.
On the Sunday, a 23-mile run was in place along a canal, fields, local villages and vineyards, as Lorraine and Gary learned about different sessions to improve their running while enjoying great wine and food.
