With Hyde Park taken over by the Royal Parks Half Marathon, decided to do a route I’d be meaning to try for ages, heading down along the River Lea and Regent’s Canal before heading back up to Hampstead and home.
Very pleased with how things turned out, wanted to do at least 21 miles but was otherwise going to take it as it came. Legs were still feeling pretty strong at 20 miles so decided to push on to 24 miles which takes me to 90 miles for the week. Kept up a decent pace for the whole run, and heart rate was well under control. Couldn’t ask for much more from a final long run. Now it’s taper time!
