A recap of Glastonbury – 200 people Running at the Festival! from RUN SDJ. The full video is worth watching; below is the workout so you can try it.
Key points:
- The run covers around 6 km (3.7 mi) as a loop through Glastonbury’s festival grounds, starting and finishing in the Greenpeace field.
- Runners gather for a group warm‑up. The course mixes flat stretches with a gentle rise, with spectators along the route.
- Total time was around 48 minutes, a relaxed 8‑9 min/km (13‑14 min/mi) pace.
- You pass through spots like the theatre, cabaret field, and the Stone Circle.
Workout example:
- Warm‑up (5 min): easy jog or brisk walk, especially on the hill.
- Run 6 km (around 48 min): steady, chatty effort (around 8‑9 min/km). Ease back on the climb, let pace flow on the descent.
- Cool‑down (2‑3 min): light jog or walk back to start.
Tips:
- Watch for the short hill midway and the footing.
- Use the crowd’s energy.
- Pick up water at festival stations before or after.
- Treat it as a sightseeing run, not a training session.
Closing note: Try this whenever you’re ready, and adjust distance or pace in the Pacing app to fit your goals.
