Training in Blackweir
The national centre by the river.
The Sport Wales National Centre in Sophia Gardens anchors the list, with a public gym, fitness classes and racket sports. Cardiff Judo Academy trains at the centre, with classes for every level, and the Welsh Freestyle Wrestling Centre of Excellence shares its postcode.
The Taff Trail comes up through Pontcanna Fields and Llandaff Fields, crosses the river on the pedestrian bridge at Blackweir and carries on north past Blackweir Lodge. Sophia Gardens, also home to Glamorgan's county cricket ground, is linked to Bute Park by the Millennium footbridge, so a riverside run with a training partner can start right outside the centre.
