Had one of those 'loving every moment' runs last night on the good old Olympic Park and covered 8k in the process. Next week i am gonna push for the 10k...i think it's time i have been tinkering on 8k since November and i must be ready for it.
Funny that i was always a morning person for running, but i really struggle to get up when it is so dark, so switching to the evening runs where i can has actually been quite refreshing, and as the park is so beautifully lit it really helps.
Hope you all have a fantastic weekend of running!

Wow, how fabulous to run at the Olympic Park. It must give you a special aura! Well done on your 8k, and good luck with your 10k attempt - which of course you will smash! 👏👊🏃♀️
Yep, changing things around can give our running a boost. If you can do 8k then 10k is well within reach. Just take it steady, running nice and steady will get you there
Hi Tinker yes absolutely. The park is totally free. The best lit areas are the South Park and you can run around the Stadium, Orbit and Aquatics - North where the Velodrome is is slightly darker due to the nature conservation but a lovely space to run
