First Nike Stratford Club Run, straight after a Q&A with Paula Radcliffe (although she didn't join us as she only had her stitches out today.) Ran with Pete H and Matt L. There were around 100 people, all running in "2:15:25" T-shirts. Pace was slow, mainly as the groups were random rather than ability-based. The course was also shorter than expected, as the marshals decided that the roadworks around Pudding Mill Lane meant getting up onto the Greenway was going to be too congested - fair enough. The route was a rather uninspiring out-and-back along Stratford High Street, I was suprised we didn't instead do a loop of Westfield Stratford City itself. Right at the end, a sting in the tail - a run up the steps beside Stratford station and over the huge footbridge to Westfield.

I will probably go back for future runs (especially as they are usefully on Thursdays) but I hope the route gets more interesting!
