I was scheduled for a 120 minute slow run today. Louise was working all day, so I needed a babysitter for Kane. Luckily Gill returned from holiday in China yesterday and she offered.
Dave also wanted to do a long run today, so we arranged for Dave to get the train to Sutton then we would run back to his house in East Dulwich. I worked out a 12 mile route, my only concern was that it wouldn't be long enough to take up 120 minutes. To counter this I decided to run from Dave's to Tulse Hill train station and get a direct train back to Sutton from there, this would add another 2.5 miles and make up the run time to near two hours.
The run itself was quite pleasant, we managed to run through quite a bit of parkland, through Carshalton Park, Beddington Common, Mitcham Common, Streatham Common and Dulwich Park. We got to Dave's after 99 minutes, I had a glass of water, then set off for Tulse Hill, mindful that the train left at 15:31. I timed it well and made it to the station with three minutes to spare.
The total run time was 118 minutes, so it was a very successful run.
Run stats: 118:39 minutes, 14.7 miles - 8:04 minutes per miles pace
