How busy was the towpath? I'm trying to find a half marathon route for this weekend but had discounted the Thames towpath because I thought they would be silly.
36 minute 10k is solid. Get training and come and join ESM!
juanito-
The few times I've been down that way (between Putney Bridge and Hammersmith Bridge) it's been chaos, and gets busier as the day goes on so early morning best if you had to.
Huge tracts of it (and beyond towards Kew) there's no way you can keep 2m from anyone else on the path (either overtaking them or passing them coming the other way).
The North side (H&F council) continues to be shut to runners and cyclists between Chiswick Mall and Putney Bridge, walkers only: http://www.putneysw15.com/default.asp?section=info&link=http://neighbournet.com/server/common/hfparks2004c.htm
For longer runs I'd be looking at RP and using the paths/roads, but it's not flat in RP.

Midday on a Wednesday- manageable. But it was also low tide so a bit was done on the beach Thamesside.
My wife reports that mornings and weekends are a bit nightmarish.
I haven't had and wont have a weekend for a total of 6 weeks so I have a fairly sporadic run schedule.I think Wimbledon allows the best mix available, as does super early morning (pre shift for me is 0500)
What's ESM?
And that 36 was a few years back. Prior to medical life. When I could go for a run in some proper hills pretty much whenever I liked.

Had a good lunchtime run post nights today (had to pick car up from servicing). Legs felt a bit rubbish as they usually do post nights. Wasn't really pushing, aiming for politeness > speed.
Surprised myself with a 39 min 10k. I do love the towpath.
