  • A mate of mine from my running club ran the Capital Ring yesterday. He was aiming for sub 12 hours but did 13 houses instead.

    It's about 75 miles around the outskirts of London.

    The Woolwich foot tunnel was flooded, which can't have helped, seeing as that was right near the start.

    Here's a rubbish screenshot from a video he shot in the tunnel

  • Oof. ~ 4h20 marathon pace for almost 3 marathons with 1300m elevation change and some challenging terrain (mud/water/etc).

  • If I got to a tunnel under the Thames and found myself knee-deep in water, there's no way in hell I would carry on.

    I'd have just run on the spot on the Woolwich Ferry.

    Fantastic effort.
