Wow! What a turnout! On a lovely winter morning 12 Hoopsters headed down to the canal for a 40-40 session - 40 minutes running towards Heathrow and 40 minutes running back.
We broke into several pace groups and, after a good old natter along the canal (complete with smells of baking croissants and onion bhajis), we celebrated the morning with a cuppa and more chatter.
A big welcome to Alys and Bianca who joined us for their first QPH long run... we hope it's the first of many!
If you want to join us, sign up to the Hoopsters facebook group where you can get updates about future runs from our Road Captain Gildas!
See you next week!
