Hi everyone,
Sorry for the late email – it’s been one of those weeks 🙂
Congratulations to Swati and Vijaya for their 10K race on Sunday – see photo below. You guys are awesome!
Our run this week will be to Notting Hill along the canal. We will be doing 90 minutes and ending back at the SJW Starbucks. Even if you can’t stay for coffee, please do go to the Starbucks because Jane will be there to give everyone a race hat and I think she may have a few shirts that people ordered and haven’t received.
Next week is ASL’s February break. The week is considered a break week – less time/mileage for your run to let your body recover from the work its been doing to build up muscles. If you can, please do your normal 45 minutes on Tuesday and 60 minutes on Thursday. Even just doing a couple of 30 minute runs would be good just to keep up what you’ve done so far. When we get back, your non-Thursday run times should increase – 45 minutes on the weekend and 60 minutes on Tuesday. We will keep that schedule until the race.
Tomorrow’s route:
Start out on Circus Road and turn left on Lisson Grove. At St John’s Wood Road, go diagonally across the intersection and run down that road for one block. Turn left and then turn right and run straight, crossing over Maida Vale. Run alongside the canal until you come to the entrance on the left. Run out the canal to the west and exit at Ladbroke Grove. Run to Elgin Crescent and make a left. Continue to Ledbury and go right and then left at Westbourne Grove. Run down Westbourne Grove over Bishop’s Bridge and down the steps into Sheldon Square. Go back along the canal, going back over the bridge (kind of a U-turn) and and out where you entered and back to Starbucks.
