Dear Runners,

What a nice start of the year run last week – you all did really well!  I know some found it easier than others, but that is normal, and we still have another 60 minute run before we increase the time again.  From here on, it is really important that you make the long runs – if at any time you have a conflict, please let me know and we can see if we can sort something out.  I hope you are all running 3 times a week now – in addition to the long Thursday run, you should aim for a medium run of 45 minutes, and a short run of 35 minutes.  Beginning February, the medium run will be increased to 60 minutes.

This week’s run will be another loop back to SJW.  The route takes us towards Avenue Road turning right at Elsworthy Road and left at the end, till we hit Adelaide Road, when we will turn right towards Camden.  Once we get to Chalk Farm Road, we turn right and continue on Camden High Street, and Hampstead Road till we arrive at Euston Road.  The group will run along the road for a couple of minutes, and then turn right again towards the outer loop of Regents Park.  We will continue along the sidewalk on the outside of the park until we reach Charlbourg where we normally enter the park, only this time we will head back to Allitsen Road and SJW High Street.  I have attached the route in case you want a copy of the map.  I will not be there this Thursday, but Bonnie and Betsy will lead and Chris Roberts will most likely join too.

See you on the 23rd, and happy running!
