Made the mistake of doing this weights class at LA fitness in Isleworth on saturday - first time I've done it and am consequently aching all over!
Will be lucky if I can walk properly by Sunday!!
How did it go Caz?

Thanx
Im going to be using the bus - parking in Twickenham is too much hassle when I am about to run 10 miles! 8 miles nearly broke me yesterday - I slept through half of Paula Radcliffe's run after doing the Kingston 8
Train is fairly easy as there are direct trains from Kingston to Twickenham, but check the swtrains website for times...
Bus - take the 267 from the middle of Kingston and it will drop you off right in the middle of Twickenham
Car - there are two ways of doing this, either from Kingston go over the bridge and turn left at the roundabout, then follow the road up through Hampton Wick, then Teddington and straight into the centre of Twickenham. Or go via Richmond, in the middle of the one way system take the right hand turn before you get to the bridge and follow the signs to Richmond, when you get to Richmond go over the bridge and follow the signs to Twickenham.
I hope you get there okay!
Spans (your local travel directory!!)
Whereabouts do you live? Do you go to a gym round there?
Would be great to have a running partner (particularly one who knows the area)
DS
Would it be better to drive?.
I'm from the Ealing, Southall & Middx Club (ESMAC) and there'll be a few of us out there on Sunday - watch out for the green singlet with yellow stripe! (yuck)
David - I live in Isleworth nr the station so not too far, there are loads of runs in the area especially down by the river, but watch out for the high tides at this time of the year as the tow paths can get flooded and then very muddy!! I'll talk more though on Sunday at the Cabbage Patch...
As to a gym - having worked in the past in a one for 5 years the attraction of working out inside just isn't there... maybe one day though!!
Please tell me this isn't a Veteran event?, I think I may be a bit too young....
Spoke to a regular Cabbage Patcher at Kington on Sunday says there's no problem with parking unlike Kingston. I found it was easy to park in Kingston though.
As for the high tides I know all about it - the end of my garden is on the River Crane and its been well watered over the last coupld of weeks!!
Twickenham is only about 10 mins from Kingston Bridge by car on Sunday morning
ie no traffic
TB.
Caz,if your driving from Kingston you could follow me, as I've got a good idea how to get there.
