Enjoying the Trail Runs in the Perth Winter

The hills are one of the great secrets of the Perth Training environment.The
Endurance Feral Rats tackle a winter block each year challenging themselves to get that early season strength into their legs.

Running through trails with a chill in the air and the sounds of kangaroos bounding away as you approach. Plenty of birds and a green landscape that is so different from the brown summer dryness --its a different world!!

Then there are the never ending  hilly bits, the tree roots that grab at your ankles and the dry leaves hiding a pea gravel slide.....so much for the  soaring heart rate to deal with !!
