This route is near where I used to live so it was lovely to hit parts of the route that were familiar. Route includes the Grand Union Canal which I know well and have fond memories of as I have completed GUCR twice now. No overgrown paths or cow fields which was a bonus.

Due to it being easier running underfoot, I was able to pick up the pace towards the end of the route and go sub 5 . Made a few navigational errors, silly ones on my part and not because the navigation is tricky (all corrected so gained a little extra mileage).

Carried all the drinks and nutrition I needed so I did not have to stop. Ran the route solo.
