Can be quite hot in London in summer with Global warming which means I sweat quite abit when in a race like this fabulous one that happens each summer in London.I quite like spring and autumn runs where there is oftern a cooling breeze.But I do not like cross country races.
My wife first did this British 10K race down there in London and suggested I try as it was easier than a marathon and much less likely to get a foot injury. The runners at the front are always very fast, so I plod along at the back and have a chat with the other people and look at some of the odd costumes people wear.One guy had a hippopotomus suit on which I thought alittle over the top.
This run has the prime spot in the centre of the city,so is easy and convenient to get to and from.I wouldn't try bringing a car though as Leicester square and Piccadily Circus are only a stone's throw and who would try parking a car there these days.
When I ran it, it reminded me I should try getting out to see more of London.The race goes right past the big wheel called The London eye and I have yet to ride that.
The cost of the run I thought very cheap.I hear the London marathon put on a similar run in the City of London that is 1\2 the distance annd almost twice as much.And that they charge charities over £300 a place in their London marathon.So where do all those £300 go to I wobder. So I thought this a very very good run.
