Easy pre-race run plus some strides. Maybe I ran a little too late (the race is Sunday 10:30 AM, and I ran at 5 PM), but I don't think it will matter. Ran 1 loop around the park, and did 4x100m strides. Felt okay, but not super.
On the way back, I saw a hige mob of people blocking the sidewalk right in my path! When I got closer I realised that the crowd was for members of English National Cricket Team, as yesterday was a big cricket match, and the team headquarters are apparently very close to my house (as is Lord's Cricket Grounds, a landmark). The team was boarding the bus to go the game, and all the people were trying to snap pictures or maybe get an autograph. There was absolutely no way to run through them, and I had to go around in the middle of the road.
Total time: 39:47 |
