Down to Limehouse, loop back round to Hackney Wick, then a loop through the Olympic Park - including running up the mound with the rings on it, then to Coppermill and then back home. Getting out the Olympic Park was tricky - still a lot of work going on near the velodrome. Like last week, 95%+ was on paths (mainly towpaths) rather than roads.
Original plan was to do a 30km loop like last weekend's, but I still hadn't recovered from that - my calves started aching a bit after 3km. I was hoping the pain would go away. It didn't, but didn't get much worse, and I was feeling better after 26km this time than last time. Feel a bit better after having finished, too. However, there's still too much pain, and it's appearing much too soon in my run. I would like to get to a place where I can cross the H/M mark with no pain. Pain is principally from the calves. Shins generally OK, just clicking a bit.
H/M time 108 min - 2 min slower than last week. Dry, sunny, and pretty warm (18degC).
