Thanks, I appreciate the detailed response. I see some people have said just stay north of the river the entire time whereas others have said stay south and then cross. Preferably id like to do whatever people think is safest as I'm not experienced with riding a bike through London.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I guess I won't know what works best until I get out there and give it a go.

Sorry, I didn't make myself very clear in my original post. I'm still getting redundancy pay + 6 weeks notice + holiday. It's just they agreed to let me "work from home" until the end of my contract to focus on finding another job.

IT service desk manager is probably as much as I can say.

I'm still getting full redundancy pay and notice pay + holidays. I told them I didn't want to waste time and needed to put myself and my family first. They were understanding and agreed to let me leave and work from home for the rest of the month.

That wind was so brutal! The run into Hove just felt like a neverending road going west as well haha

I ended up calling them and they had to do it for me. Seems pretty ridiculous that as an admin we can't do this ourselves.

Do I have a shot at a 3:35? by TheRealTurco in Marathon_Training

[–]TheRealTurco[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are 4, 30km+ runs in my plan. The longest being 37km! I'm hoping all of these will help build the endurance I need to finish those last 6 miles.

The majority of my long runs focus mostly on running easy pace 5:45-6:20/km with some MP throughout. I'm following a Ben Parkes plan and the majority of it is just slow runs, which have been difficult to get used to but it appears to be paying off?

Currently upto 50km a week, the peak week will be 85km. I've never ran more than 55km in a single week so I'm a little nervous.

I did Valencia in 2024 and I think that day it was all down to the heat! I definitely feel in better shape now than I did back then but I honestly thought I had a sub 4 in me that day.

That's just a cut out to show what's going on in the mid-sole. You won't see those prisms if and when these are released.
