Well I have done the last long run before the Day, and although it was tough it was actually better than last week. The stretches worked! Quite pleased with the time too. I went along the Grand Union Canal to Paddington and back again, lots to see, and tempting smells from cafes and food factories along the way- not to mention boat owners frying up bacon butties as I passed! So now it's taper time... And planning how to get there on the day, last minute begging emails for fundraising, etc.
Hope everyone had a great run today if you went out!

Sounds like a great run, i sometimes work in london and think i should go out for runs as there some really nice parts. But good luck with your fund raising i am sure your smash it.
Hi Eatcakeandrun - I've also been doing a lot of my training for London up and down the Grand Union Canal - we've probably passed each other a few times.
Hey - Acton! we probably have! I have only recently been doing that particular stretch, usually I go towards Northolt and Southall, or I have been doing routes along the Thames path too. But I have to say the path is nice for running along that bit towards Paddington. A couple of months ago I ran along the Uxbridge road - along Acton High St itself, which was sadly not very pleasant on a Sunday morning after a Saturday night , if you get me.
