The River Soar gives you two decent long run options in Leicester from the same starting point. Head south and you're into Aylestone Meadows; head north and the path runs all the way to Watermead Country Park, which is enough distance to build on without leaving the water. Victoria Park and Abbey Park fill in the shorter sessions closer to the city centre. If you want something harder, Bradgate Park is outside the city but worth the trip - expect rolling hills, uneven ground, and free-roaming deer. Not quite ready for 26.2? Half marathons in Leicester are a good place to gauge where you're at.
