In London - 3rd day of running

Back in London at a Citywire event and you guessed it - always an opportunity to take my running shoes and explore new routes or in this particular case revisit old favourites.

The weather has been steadily improving and it was really sunny in Brighton on Wednesday so I couldn't resist a lunchtime run up to Hove lagoon and back. I even got a short weights session in on Wednesday evening (plus sauna). The previous day (Tue) was a commute in on the Brommie (now set up in analogue mode).

So I arrived in London yesterday (Thu) and after a long first day at the conference joined about 12 Citywire delegates for the post day 1 event run - 30mins around Hyde Park at an easy pace (mostly chatting for the entirety).

Not the best sleep, despite the luxurious room, bed and pillows, and my Garmin told me to rest (poor sleep, low recovery and low HRV - strained). However, that English breakfast always tastes that much better after a run - so an early 6km loop of Hyde Park again, picking up trails I last ran 17 years ago (possibly longer) when I started my fitness journey and was based in the West End (UBS office at 1 Curzon Street).
