Hi Everyone,
This is our last week of training before the race! Well done to everyone who ran to Kew Gardens last week. On Monday, we have a 5-6 mile loop through Hyde Park and on Wednesday we have a 4-mile loop through Regent’s Park. Most of us will be gone on Friday and next Monday, but if you’re not going to the race please meet as usual and you can decide a route on the day. The next weekly email will go out on Tuesday April 26 after the race.
Nice, France details
Please look out for a series of emails with details about the trip including an itinerary, flight list and the famous photo book (THANK YOU AMY!). Let us know if you have any questions.
Keep running,
Jane
ROUTES
Monday, 18 April – Hyde Park (5 – 6 miles)
It is race week so the run in Hyde Park is a shorter loop than previous runs.
5 Mile: Everybody starts the same way and by now you know the way to Hyde Park. After entering the Park, turn right and run towards Speaker’s Corner. Continue south through Hyde Park, past the Serpentine and at the Carriage drive, make a left and head back toward Hyde Park Corner and continue back up/north on the carriage drive. Exit the park at the Animals in War memorial and follow Upper Brook Street. Turn left on Park Street, which becomes Gloucester Place and then Park Road back to SJW.
6 Mile: upon entering the park, turn right at the silver sphere and run until you meet N Carriage Road where you turn left. Run down to the Serpentine, crossing over the bridge then left to run along the Serpentine. At the end of the Serpentine, turn left again and make your way to the eastern edge of the park. Exit the park at the Animals in War memorial and follow Upper Brook Street. Turn left on Park Street, which becomes Gloucester Place and then Park Road back to SJW.
Wednesday 20 April – Regents Park loop (4 miles)
Head down Grove End Road as though going to Hyde Park BUT at Marylebone Road, turn left and follow Marylebone Road, past Madame Tussauds, then turn left at York Bridge and right at the Outer Circle. Follow the Outer Circle counter clockwise, all the way to the crosswalk by the US Ambassador’s House. Cross out of the Park and head to Starbucks.
