A number of us from Universal got together to take part in the JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge, a 3.5 mile charity event, run around Battersea Park for SportAid. 12,700 people running around the paths of Battersea Park makes for an entertaining run. if not that runnable,. You'll invariable come up behind people walking 4 abreast after a kilometre and find yourself zig-zagging, sprinting, jogging and even walking as the path narrows to turn a corner. My recorded pace, for a kilometre, bounced between 10 and 4 minutes throughout! That said, I still managed to get around in 27m 4s, which is nearly 3 minutes quicker than my efforts last year, which I'm going to put down to training.
Of course, we rewarded ourselves with a deserved trip to the pub , a couple of pints and a doner. Despite feeling sure at the time, I still haven't managed to find the training schedule which pointed out the benefits of the pint and doner combo.
Back to training today, with a gentle 4 mile cruise. And a doner.
