Training for London Marathon 2010 - Long Runs


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm looking for one or more persons who'd like to join me for part of the training for the London Marathon in April 2010.

I'm doing long runs, about 2 hours at slow to medium pace, usually on Saturdays or Sundays. This sometimes gets a bit boring on my own, so I thought company could be motivating and more fun. I'm not really interested in joining one of the running clubs/groups in the area here and would like to keep it on a private-no-money-involved basis.

I did the Berlin Marathon in 2008 and kept running since...

For the long runs I could offer quite a nice route starting at Peckham Rye Common and linking One Tree Hill, Sydenham Hill Wood, Crystal Palace Park and Dulwich Park (roughly 20 km or longer if wanted). I'm open for other suggestions though.

I also do runs around Peckham Rye on most weekday evenings and do a bit of speed training once a week in Peckham Rye Park (300m uphill, 800 m laps or 1 to 3 k fast).

Anyone interested in joining?

10 min miles is fine with me. I usually do between 8 and 10 min miles depending on distance. I won't be going over half marathon distance this year but did London last year. I've got a ten mile race first weekend in Jan so it might be worth hooking up in the new year. I'll drop you a PM.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
