Well – how did it feel running all the way to Big Ben and then back again?! Pretty incredible that you guys have come this far. I hope you are all feeling as proud of yourselves as we are of you!
This week, we will build just a bit more. The route takes you through the Belgravia portion of the Wander Art exhibit we did a few weeks ago in Mayfair. Some of the regular WRW group have run it and the art work looks super fun.
We will continue to use gels on the rest of our long training runs so you can find ones that you like (or at least tolerate!). Please remember to bring water with you from now on for your runs. And eat something beforehand!!
Next Few Weeks
The rest of the longs runs after this week that we have planned are destination runs. I had hoped that we would be able to run in more than pairs by then, but no. I would like to know if you all are comfortable with doing the next 2 long runs (March 11 and March 25) as destinations. It would mean coming back on the tube at the end of the run. The tube stations for the runs are both on the Jubilee Line. We may try doing some distanced pairs if people are comfortable with that. If you are NOT comfortable with doing a destination, please let me know and we will figure something else out.
Race Update
Pace group leaders from all of WRW are meeting tomorrow to discuss race logistics for the last week of April. Right now, my hope is that we will all run at approximately the same time on Thursday morning, April 29. We will be in small groups and will base our departure times on pace with those who expect to take longer leaving earlier so we can all arrive fairly close to one another. This is not set in stone as we need to make sure this plan fits with WRW as a whole so stay tuned for confirmation and more details.
