It’s two months until the London Marathon! 🙀

Because these Sunday long runs are somewhat unrelenting now I thought I’d get some inspiration and go and see the finishing line at the Mall first hand. This is the fifth week in a row where I’ve run a half marathon or longer, so I thought it would be good to vary things.

The RunGo app is really helpful for drawing out routes, and I had an idea - don’t start from the doorstep of our home, get a bus a little way in to the city centre. Then run from there to see some new places.

This meant today I got all the way up to the Wetland Center and Hyde Park.

The only problem with this bus and run idea is getting cold, but I found that a thin down jacket squashes down just enough to fit into the 5 litre hydration pack that I’ve got, so that’s helpful on the way back.

Also, I’ve been polishing my new running blog yesterday, and it seems to be working pretty well. You can find it at run.stef.io
