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

Good run Saturday! Yep, I'm up for Wokingham. That's assuming my foot plays ball. Left heel was feeling a little bruised before Saturday's XC and a little bit more bruised yesterday when I decided to cut a 16 mile run short to 6. Bah! I'm hoping a week of indoor rowing and cycling will sort it out, but it would be nice to be sorted again before the mudfest which is the Southern XC champs at Parly Hill in a couple of weeks.

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.
