Tips from the Revival Team:
Timing is everything: Hit the river paths early or around sunset to avoid crowds.
Watch your footing: Some cobbled and trail sections along the Thames can be slippery after rain.
Pair your run with recovery: Post-run, swing by Revival for mobility work, a sauna, or SGPT session to round out your training.
