Ashley's Marathon File
|
|
Up to the London Marathon those wishing to get a
mid week (Thursday Night) long run in can meet
Ashley at London Bridge Station (outside main
entrance at the bus depot) at 6.30pm for a run
home through the delights of South East London.
The initial course will be circa 13 miles and we
will look to increase this by one mile(or so) a
week over the coming weeks.
Pace wise anyone able to run a sub 2 hour half
will have no problems, Due to traffic and safety
we will running around 9 minute mile pace, but
overall the pace will be at the speed of the
slowest runner.
Club Rules. No rest stops, fastest runner must
turnaround and run to back of slowest runner,
(so faster runners do more miles).
The routes will over the weeks take in Deptford,
Lewisham, Catford, Bromley, Greenwich,
Blackheath, The Thames Barrier, Woolwich
Crossing and the South Circular!
The last long run will be approx three weeks
before the marathon and when the evenings are
lighter. The course will run along the first
eleven miles of the marathon route (in reverse!)
so that any First Timers can at least
familiarize themselves with parts of the
Marathon course.
Having regularly run the various routes over the
past six years I have pretty much worked out
every 'escape route' should you need to quit and
get a train\bus back home !
Interested Parties please email me prior to the
evening to confirm that you will be joining me.
I will in turn try to get Kevin to update the
site on a weekly basis in advance with this
weeks planned route and a report on the previous
weeks run.
