← RunThrough Lee Valley VeloPark - July
As previous RT races have been, a lovely welcome from the team on arrival and lots of friendly faces around too.
I had put down to run the 10k but wasn’t feeling great when I arrived so they happily moved me to the 5k start without any problems just smiles!
The bag drop was well staffed and lots of toilets available in the main building. Again more friendly faces at the bag drop 😊
Onto the track - yes you run on the velopark outdoor mile circuit. We had to start a little way back from the main timing mats as the laps were only one mile. I’m not a fan of laps but I needed to do some hill work and this circuit certainly does that!! Some mean hills on the course but it does even out overall.
I wouldn’t recommend this route to many beginners as it could put you off even short distance runs but if you are looking for a challenge then this is your run.
A great medal as always and the flapjacks alone are worth the effort!
I’m glad I did it and would have to do it again to give the 10k a go.
