running.\u00a0 But you guys kicked ass on Thursday.\u00a0 You may have been a bit sore after Thursday and that is totally normal.\u00a0 I can tell you that many of the regular MWF runners were sore last\u00a0week\u00a0from getting back into the routine.<br>For those of you going to Berlin, don&#8217;t forget to select any tours you might want using this form\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/fxZzQ3kEqy4LhBYUA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HERE<\/a>. \u00a0 The deadline is this Wednesday so don&#8217;t forget!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, kit distribution and trip money collection will be next Tuesday 25 January.\u00a0 An email will be going out in the next day or two regarding that.\u00a0 Just come after your Tuesday run &#8211; the address will be in the email along with a reminder of any kit you may have ordered plus a list of the trip expenses.\u00a0 Please let us know if you have any questions once it comes out.<br>A few reminders:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You should be running 3 times per&nbsp;week&nbsp;now<\/li><li>The Tuesday run should be about 45 minutes and the weekend run should be about 30 minutes (Tuesday runs will get longer in a few weeks, but not yet)<\/li><li>It is OK to break up into smaller pace groups on your weekend and Tuesday runs but it is normal for pace groups to ebb and flow from&nbsp;week&nbsp;to&nbsp;week<\/li><li>It is OK to try to run a bit faster on the weekend run, but only if you want to<\/li><li>Bring water for the Thursday runs<\/li><li>Eat something before the Thursday runs<\/li><li>The Thursday run is SLOW<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Remaining Schedule after this\u00a0week<\/strong><br>Week 22 Jan 27 \u2013 70 min \u2013 Borough Market<br>Week 23 Feb 3 \u2013 80 min = Brompton Cemetery\/Whole Foods Kensington<br>Week 24 Feb 10 \u2013 90 min = Sloane Sq\/Green Park\u00a0(note &#8211; this is parent-teacher conf at ASL)<br>Week 25 Feb 17 \u2013 100

DAY!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Training<\/strong><br>We cannot emphasize enough that the way to build up to the half is to just put in the time and miles.\u00a0 Also, it is important to understand that the pace groups will continue to morph throughout our training and that is completely normal.\u00a0 Some days you feel like you want to be towards the front, sometimes you feel like it\u2019s just not your day and you\u2019re slower.\u00a0 This happens in the M\/W\/F\u00a0group, too.\u00a0 We have lots of time and as you know, it\u2019s about finishing and feeling good about it, not about how fast you can go.\u00a0 Save that for next year.\u00a0 Also, as we run for longer times on Thursdays, we will continue to make you run more slowly than you might otherwise.\u00a0 Running slowly builds your body and muscles in a different way.\u00a0 I will send our founder, Paula\u2019s, lengthy description of that next\u00a0week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Water and Nutrition<\/strong><br>As our runs get longer, you will want water along to hydrate.\u00a0 It will make you feel better on the run and will help your body recover faster.\u00a0 Also,\u00a0<strong>please please eat something<\/strong>, just a little something, before our Thursday runs.\u00a0 We don\u2019t want you feeling faint from lack of energy.\u00a0 Maybe some yogurt or a banana \u2013 just a little something for your body to use to fuel you.\u00a0 As our runs get longer in a few weeks, we will talk to you about fueling for much longer runs and during the race, but we\u2019re not ready for that yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This\u00a0week\u2019s route:<\/strong><br>Start out on Circus Rd to Hall Rd.\u00a0 Just past Randolph Ave, go left onto Warrington Crescent and at the Warwick Ave tube, turn right onto Clifton Villas.\u00a0 Left onto Blomfield Rd and then right onto Westbourne Terrace Rd over the canal and under the Westway to Westbourne Bridge\/Westbourne Terrace.\u00a0 Keep right onto Sussex Gardens to Lancaster Terrace.\u00a0 Enter Hyde Park at the Italian Gardens and run so the fountains are on your left.\u00a0 Keep to the path closest to the water, run under the bridge and hook around to the right at the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain to go up to the road.\u00a0 Turn right to run across the bridge and go diagonally across the park to Speakers Corner.\u00a0 Turn right and then left past the Animals in War Memorial.\u00a0 Cross Park Lane and turn left at the next street, Park St.\u00a0 Run up this street as it becomes Gloucester Rd and turn left when it ends at Park Rd.\u00a0 Run up Park Rd to St John\u2019s Wood High St and Starbucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"443\" height=\"599\"
