It’s quite leafy and fairly undulating. There are some great views North across London and it’s great imagining what it must have been like when The Crystal Palace was in its prime
47 minutes this morning
Not sure how far, feels 10k-ish
How do you remember the route in such incredible detail?
Hi Paul, I can give plenty more detail if needed 🙂
It would have to be landmarks rather than street names as they’re the things that stick in my mind.
I had to look most of the street names up!
45 minutes this morning.
Legs heavy to start with, but pushed it on a few stretches. Hit flow at half-way mark.
Useful time-checks:
23 minutes to exit Crystal Palace Park
30 minutes to Sydenham Hill Station
46 minutes
A little late reporting, but did this run on Bank Holiday Monday
Felt a bit sluggish but clocked in quite a good time in the end
48 minutes this morning, took it slow and got in to a great rhythm. Could have carried on for quite a while.
They were filming something in Cox’s Walk, but I didn’t stop to find out what.
47 minutes this evening, steady pace.
Zippos Circus (which we went to last year on Peckham Rye) has moved from Blackheath (where I saw it last week when I started to learn to kite board) to the top of Crystal Palace Park.
63 minutes this evening.
Added a clockwise lap of Peckham Rye and Peckham Rye Park at the end in honour of Paula Radcliffe’s magnificent win today in the London Marathon.
No toilet breaks though 😉
Nic
Do it backwards, going up Collage Road first. Much better for the legs and more of a challenge 😉
Lawrence
Lawrence, I’ll give it a go 🙂
[…] Turns out I wasn’t far off when I guessed Sunday Circuit at 10km in an earlier post. […]
