Quiet jogging route?

[alc2013]

Has anyone found a quiet jogging route in the area? I normally go on the jogging track in Dulwich park, but there are quite a lot of walkers on there and dogs and it's often hard to get 2 metres distance. I think it would help if they introduced some signage with the rules for joggers, dogs etc. In the meantime I'd love to know if people have found a quiet route?

If they have, they might not want to post it on here for fear that everybody will then descend upon it, seeking quietness :)

I go out after dark... everywhere very quiet. I understand not everyone feels safe doing that, though.

If you are out jogging in the evening then steer well clear of Woodwarde Road as there are several houses burning wood and your lungs will suffer

How do you get the motivation to do it.

Keep saying to myself get up early to exercise, every morning this week when I wake up, I'll do it tomorrow:-(

I'd say there are plenty of side roads and quiet victorian streets that are very peaceful - I'm running most days and going nowhere near a park.

I know the feeling very well, but it's a matter of routine. And with me, when I've managed to achieve a certain level of fitness, the fear of regressing is sufficient to motivate me to get out for a jog now and again (or to the gym in peace time).

ithink if you feel like that you could try using something like strava, (and not share it), and then see if you can improve your times/ distances.

must say- the concrete jungle is not very appealing but the air quality- except in Woodwarde Road- is better
