I felt safer as there are people living on the canal and I checked in with them and told them how long I'd be. Still struggled but I think I managed a tiny bit more running. Finished by walking round the lake so an hour all together

Huge well done... I love flat, but perform better on hills ... ( yes, always been odd)... great stuff, running where you feel happy and safe. Stick to your running times though :)

Many years ago I walked the Grand Union canal from London to Birmingham over 9 days. Now my local parkrun takes in a small section of this beautiful canal. Enjoy!

I too love the urban Grand Union canal, wildlife abounds, very safe but if only there was a deposit scheme on beer bottles and cans most litter would disappear or not be dropped in the first place .

I'd be happy if the Canada geese were litter trained but I think that's just me

Oh yes. Don't like hills, can't run up them or down them. Wish I had a canal path nearby. :)
