Trailrunning the Cogmanskloof Hiking Trail

Since September 2016 I was jogging on and off. Coming from VERY unfit, like jogging 100m and walking 200m, very slowly building up the fitness. David joined me in the beginning of 2017 and we decided that we seriously wanna do some trail running this year. We started by running 3-5 km per day. The past Sunday we decided to try a real trail run and went for a 10 km run on the Cogmanskloof Hiking Trail. This hiking trail is very tough for running, VERY steep and lots of lose stones and most of the way we had to walk. We did the best we could and thoroughly enjoyed it !












Found this nice app on my cellphone, Runkeeper. GPS track your whole route.


The elevation chart confirms the steep climbs and descents.

This was definitely a legs workout !!
