Ran the canal down to canary wharf today as break from my usual laps of regents park (while my kid is doing cricket at Lords). Its a nice 10 miles - forgot how much nicer an A -> B route is rather than an out and back or going round in circles. And the canal on a wintery sunday morning is pretty much perfect for longer slow distance.
It cemented a very steady recovery from a torn meniscus over the summer with intervals back to the kind of pace I'm happy with and 10 miles at 8'30" feeling nicely relaxed and stress free.
I'd also forgotten the eco-disasters of the canal boats spewing thick wood smoke from one end and blue diesel smoke from the other. Its shockingly bad.
