Bupa London 10K:
One month after the London Marathon, many people have fallen back into ‘normal life’. I certainly have. My 5 runs a week have turned to one or two, my social life is back with a vengeance and my beer belly is starting to resurface. So a 10k race seemed the perfect way to stay in shape, or at least give me something to train for to combat those post-marathon blues.
The Bupa London 10,000 is now in it’s third year and seems to grow each time I run it. I’ve run all three races and can say without hesitation that this is one of the finest running races in the UK. This morning 13,000 people descended on Buckingham Palace to run alongside the likes of Mo Farah, Chris Thomson, Micah Kogo and half the cast of Emmerdale. With the weather overcast and a cool breeze in places, a personal best was definitely on the cards for a lot of people.
