This was a solo self supported 100 km run from Greenwich, South East London to Windsor, done last month on London Marathon day.

Took advantage of the road closures in London to run through parts of the closed routes early in the morning before following the Thames Path to Weybridge, Chertsey, Staines and finally, Windsor/Eton. Well, Slough actually, because of the Lizzie Line.

Favourite segment was between Kingston and Weybridge. What a beautiful path. Also enjoyed running up the Long Walk whilst hallucinating due to dehydration. That was fun…

Shoes were On Cloudgo, which weren't really suited for anything more than 20 miles. That was a rather uncomfortable lesson.

Garmin estimated I burned 6200 kcal (12 Big Mac equivalent) and lost 9 litres in sweat.

Elapsed pace was closer to 6:15 min/km as I stopped at various shops to get more food and drinks, to eat, use the loo, take pictures etc.

Highly recommend this route for anyone thinking of doing it as a run, walk, bike.

  5. Your average pace is unreal, I can’t sustain that for more than a km or two. Amazing achievement.

  6. dear lady or gentleman, you deserve a statue. respect and love.

  7. Ive done Windsor to Teddington. This one is mega though.

  9. I see all these walking threads and can’t think the Pretenders are laughing at everyone.

  10. Blimey I know I’m slow but that’s faster than my 5k pace.

    The marathon winner did 3:03 min/km over only 42.195km.

    Very impressive.

  12. Post the kml if you can – and how did you plan the route, seems like a lot of work.

  14. the way i can’t even do 5k without my right ankle feeling like it’s going to explode and you’ve done 100k

  15. Surprised you didn’t get a photos of Slough. Quite pretty this time of year

  17. That’s a great pace for that distance, even with the stops.

  19. Am I just very unfit or is 100k run at 5:27 pace crazy?

  20. This is sick well done, very jealous of you being able to do this

  23. Kingston to Weybridge really is a lovely path, one of my favourite to ride along.
