What an excellent post, I think I’m still a few weeks away from running all the way home (I’m just under 13 miles door to door).

It does bring home how much time is lost when traveling on London public transport i.e. waiting, transfers and delays. Don’t get me wrong it’s still better than anything else I’ve seen in the country (with the exception of Manchester p’haps), but it does make you think doesn’t it?

I do wish I had a bike so I could ride it to work, but this is mostly because it would count as cross training

I want to run home but can’t leave my coat in the office all night, it’s all I’ve got. Might have to wait ’til the summer.

The backpack was great, I find it very comfortable. I don’t use the chest strap because it makes me look like a trussed up piece of gammon, but they do come in handy. As my shoulders begin to stiffen I can rest them by grabbing hold of the elastic and relaxing.

Hope you both try out the commute – it does take a bit of planning because you don’t want to run home with too much stuff – but its a great way to fit in a long run during the week.

Oooh, this is actually pretty inspiring. It is only about 10km from my work to home, so with a little more work, this is definitely doable for me. It would be quicker taking the train as I normally do, but not by much. And it would have the added advantage that my run would then be done for the day.

I might have to take this challenge in the winter.

I’m impressed with your commute. It’s given me some inspiration for when I move to Perth! I could bus to work and run home. Brilliant idea! How did the back pack go? Did it get heavy?
