Good work. 21.7km is still my longest so far. Feb 14th is my first scheduled one over that at 23km and a venture into the unknown.
There's nothing too hilly around here. The de facto running training route is the pan-flat towpath and Putney Bridge to Kingston Bridge is almost bang on HM distance, so you can use an out and back route to cover anything up to the full 42.2km. Pretty nice scenery to look at during that time too.
I like to vary it a bit too so most of the runs I'm plotting now are towpath for the first chunk and then head home through Richmond Park or Wimbledon Common to push the legs near the end.
For the 35k run I may have to do 3 laps of Richmond Park as I can cycle there and stash water/gels in an old pannier so I don't have to carry anything during the run.

I have been doing a lot of running along that river path recently, I frequently go into Richmond park just after Richmond as you can then get a bit more variety.
@Sainsburys_Ed there's a big group of us from our club doing Wokingham as well, including @PhilPub i think.
We had our third surrey league x country of the season on Mitcham Common, a good day out as we managed to win the fixture. There were no really short red shorts in front of me this time, partly because they weren't being worn but also because i managed to get my nose in front of @PhilPub

Ouch. I'm up to ~26km at the moment. Longest and furthest I've run for - Had to resort to a few run/walk's nearer the end...
Do you go for flattish routes? I've got a 7mi beach promenade with amazing views to use on my doorstep, but I tend not to use it extensively as I need a few hills for motivation and so that my brain doesn't switch off with the slow long-distance pace.
