Threading the pedestrian needle

Changing things up and trying a lunchtime run over the bridge to Bermondsey, Tower Bridge and back. Gosh it’s busy out there at lunch time!

I doubt I’ll get a particular fast run in on these days so I decided to use the fact I had to stop because of crowds to try out some intervals.

I remember as a kid I loved running the 200 but never got into anything longer distance, so I tried a couple of sprints in the clearer parts of the route. Then used the busy parts to recover. Seemed to work pretty well!

I’m reading a little about stoicism and trying not to get worked up when life doesn’t go my way, so maybe this is a little running-based example.

Anyway. Nice to get out of the office at lunchtime and feeling good now.

I'm running the London Marathon – it would be awesome if you would sponsor me to raise funds for the National Autistic Society.
