I’ve been more determined to continue my training sessions, even while on my travels and so this trip to Brussels could not be an exception! After a little searching it looked like a number of runs were being tracked in Merode, so I decided to head there and see what the story was.

I took the Metro, and the minute I popped my head out of the Metro stop I could see numerous runners passing by the gates of Parc du Cinquantenaire. It was perfect, just perfect there was a 2.3km track around the park, most of it had gravel on it so it wasn’t too hard on the feet, there was only a small stretch were I had to run on the road, but even then it wasn’t in a area were cars were passing by so it was nice.
Overall I’m delighted with the run and the experience.
