That looks like a wonderful run. I love the inner zones of London to walk about. Always enjoyed myself there, especially along the Thames from Big Eye towards Tate Modern and beyond.
I slipped off my walking and running thanks to some work pressures and associated stresses. Need to get back on again.
Who are those people in silver on stilts? Are they some winter king or queen or were they actually participants?

Unfortunately we didn't run by the river, but it was still nice.
There were lots of winter themed characters around. I think those on stilts were just to welcome the athletes, but some runners were in fancy dress.
What do you eat or drink before such a run? Do you have anything while running?
I had some cereal and a banana that morning. We had some small snacks afterwards and then a beer! I had lunch when I got home. For a 10k you shouldn't need anything along the way. I've never had any of the gel packs that some runners use. Some sugary sweets may be as good to get an energy boost. Some people had the packpacks with a water supply, but I was hydrated enough. On a really hot day you would need more. They gave out drinks and cereal bars at the finish.
