Church of the Sunday Long Run - London

For this weekend's Church of the Long Run in London, we run a marathon paced workout. Sandwiching some efforts at your goal marathon pace not only will give you the fitness, it will also unlock the mental training that you can achieve your goal marathon time. Every Sunday, we offer a community-driven long run with options of 12 km (7 miles) and 24 km (15 miles). Both distance options offer many opportunities to lengthen or shorten your miles, depending on your needs.

Meet at the London Trackhouse for 9AM, bag drop, changing will be available. We kick off from 9:30AM. These meet-ups are free and open to runners of all abilities. There will also be a bag drop available. Before the run, we will have coffee, bananas and water available. Post-run, stick around for some more coffee.
