HOW LONDON CHANGED THE FACE OF THE RUNNING WORLD

28/4/2015

London has been a global influencer in all sorts of facets of life, but you may be surprised how much it has affected the world of running. 

In this blog piece, Runner's Guide to London author Hayden Shearman shares some wonderful stories from London's rich running history (including how London set the official marathon distance, founded the running club and cross country running, and gave birth to the parkrun explosion).

Have a read of the blog published in the Telegraph.

First off, excellent post and so much great stuff in there – rest is incredibly important, and it is how your body recovers that dictates everything. I think more and more things keep appearing that back that up, or at least that is what I have been reading.
I think I tend to be happy with about one rest day and 50-55 miles in the winter and 60 or so in the summer.
And whether or not that is optimal for me being a ‘better runner’, really doesn’t matter. It works great with my time and love of getting out there, and I feel great. I’m sure a coach would knock me upside the head and totally change things up on me, but I really don’t care.There are so many bloggers out there and it's hard to keep track of everyone! Thanks for this list and for including me! Cheack My recent post
