6.41km Multi-Combination Run

Brief

After my 4.45km Park Loop soaking on Monday, 6.32km Park/Broomfield v1 on Tuesday, 6.50km Park/Broomfields v2 on Wednesday, and 9.02km Gorse Loop just yesterday, I was feeling a little tired in the legs.

I was however determined to put in another descent effort in today and again wanted to run a completely different route, so I ran a multi-combination of many other routes I have previously run and also included a new link path between Blackcap Road and Green Lane.

The reason why I have run generally longer distances this week, is that next week I only plan to run two small runs at an easy pace which will be a cool down just before my Referees' Fitness Test on Sunday 8th July.


The Route

My run started at the bus stop at St. Matthew's School, running westbound just passed the Church, turning right onto the Old Roman Road pathway, but instead of continuing on towards London Road, I instead took the path between the Pewterspear Green Road that connect back up to the Old Oak Walkway near to its end.

On reaching the Dipping Brook Avenue, instead of running straight on towards Stoneacre Gardens, I ran up the Dipping Brook Avenue hill and continued over the roundabout down to the Blackcap Road roundabout, taking the longest route around the roundabout itself.

I then ran uphill along Blackcap Road until reaching the left-hand link path towards Green Lane. On reaching Green Lane, I turned left until reaching the Pillars (usually the Park Loop 2km mark) pathway near Rosemoor Gardens. I took this path, following it until Stonearce Gardens just beyond Cann Lane. I then took the mini-link path to Longwood Road, turning right towards the Old Pewterspear Lane.

I headed down the Old Pewterspear Garden path until its conclusion at London Road. I then continued along London Road until reaching the Cat & Lion traffic lights. At these lights I turned left along Stretton Road until reaching the bus stop finish where I started my run.
