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.

Thanks for this. I did the Richmond to Kew stretch the other Sunday and thought the same about the impossibility of keeping 2m on certain sections of the path.
Looks like it might be an out and back along the Uxbridge Road then: the joy.
GPS definitely struggles with smallish loops - that's why they're not totally reliable for pace during track sessions.

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!
