August long run - Henley Half (in reverse!) - 13 miles/21km
Details
Our August long run will follow the path of the Henley half marathon in reverse, starting with the ominously named Heartbreak Hill up to Fawley, through the Assendons, down the Fairmile, through the town centre, then to Aston, past the Flower Pot pub, along the Thames path to the picturesque Lockdown Lodge for refreshments and a 'street food' bite to eat: https://www.thelockdownlodge.co.uk/
We will meet from 0915 at the Paddington Bear status at platform 1 of Paddington station and will take the 0937 from Platform 4 to Henley. Those wishing to join us directly in Henley can maker their own way and meet us at Henley station at 1030.
Please make sure you are comfortable with this kind of distance; otherwise we would recommend you try our shorter runs on Wednesday evenings or Saturday mornings, especially if you are relatively new to running. There will be no bag drop, so please bring everything you need in a small backpack. It's likely to still be hot so water and sunscreen are essential.
