Hi everyone,Kew – done and dusted! You guys rocked it, as we knew you would. We are SO proud of all of you amazing women and we are so excited to run the race route with you next week!
Since we still have 10 days to go until the race, we still have some running to do. But nothing you haven’t done before.
First, a few date reminders from the regular WRW group (whom you will shortly become a part of):
Wednesday, 5 May – Cinqo for Cinqo de Mayo!
Monday, 17 May – Adventure Run!– Virginia Water to Windsor. Block off the entire morning for this beautiful run that ends at Windsor Castle!
Monday, 24 May – Pace Group Choose-your-own-Adventure run (details coming to pace group leaders soon)
I will talk a bit more in next week’s email about what happens after the race. We are working on pairing you with “mentors” from the regular running group so it’s not so scary joining in. And we will take you “up the hill” the first time so you can see it’s not so bad. Although we will be kicking you out of the nest, we will not be abandoning you, I promise!
This week, we will do about an 8 mile run through Hyde Park, down through Sloane Square, then back along the river to Westminster and end at Green Park. There is a Starbucks there for those of us able to stay for coffee, and a quick tube ride back to SJW for those of us that need to get back.

Next Tuesday, 27 April, we will do a super easy jog around Regents Park together as our final run before the race. We will meet at the Church Gardens at 8:15 to all start out together in random groups. This will be less than 3 miles and we will grab coffee and gather in the Church Gardens for any last minute questions/anxieties before the race. I hope you all can make it. Just wanted to put that out there. THIS INCLUDES WALKERS! WE WANT TO SEE YOU, TOO!
For this coming weekend, please do a 45-60 minute run – whatever you are feeling. Don’t push it, but don’t skip it. You need to keep your legs moving and keep reminding them about what they know and what they have achieved.
We will put groupings out on the What’s App for this week either Tuesday or Wednesday for this week’s run.
I cannot emphasize enough how incredibly proud we are of ALL of you and how excited we are to run with you for the race next week. This has been a long year but such a rewarding one.
See you on Thursday,
Amy
