Today was my first long run in a long time – 15.29km, or 9.5 miles, which I did with my friends in the London Frontrunners. We started in Paddington, ran along the Regent’s Canal to Primrose Hill, did a small loop around the park there before running up the hill, around and back down to Regent’s Park, doing a loop of that park before heading back along the canal to Paddington. I more than felt I had earned my brunch afterwards! Manu, who organised the run, said that if I was running at this distance now I would be fine for the Reading Half-Marathon in March. I am very glad I got up so early this morning!
Distance: 9.5 miles / 15.29km (roughly)
Time: 1 hour 22 minutes 36 seconds
Conditions: Cold, with occasional flecks of snow/sleet, clouds breaking at times. Some icy surfaces in places. Did not feel particularly long or difficult - did not need energy gel that I brought with me. I was probably running slower than I usually would do in a race situation though.
