It was the final run from the New Life Training team before the Great South Run this Sunday!! For many it was an evening to do the homework set for them – some gentle exercise and a good stretch out. For Maggie, Sat Nav and Jodi it was an opportunity to do one more run before the big day. I am sure all three will take confidence from this evenings run going in to Sunday as well, They completed the 6mile route in under an hour, averaging under 10mins per mile, this would have them complete Sundays run in 1h 40mins……that would be awesome!! They looked strong at the end as well! Keep fresh now though, rest for Sunday and keep hydration levels high! For the others it was business as usual. For Mike, Tom and Pete are not running the GSR this year. Their performances tonight would warrant a place though. Mikes’ 6m 47s per mile would put him very high up the leader board in his category on Sunday. Pete also had a great run averaging under 9mins per mile. Tom was trying new in-soles and his description of them being more suited for a deep sea diver told a story, his 10m 15s per mile was all the more commendable!!
Next week we will do a one off short run and stretch session for those interested in losing off after Sundays run.

Finally, there is a Run England course for those people interested in helping out with the running club as Bruce does from time to time. The course provides you with a leader in run fitness certificate and would allow you to help, cover and contribute to the running club should you want to. The course will enable you to deliver fun and safe sessions to multi-ability groups and give advice and support to the new runner, as well as developing pathways for those who want to progress. It focuses on understanding and overcoming barriers to participation in running and how to increase participation by those not traditionally attracted to a running club. It is a legal requirement that you also have a DBS check with UK Athletics.
The course will take place at the River Park Leisure Centre in Winchester (please see attached document for location details). On November 23rd.
The course code will be SC0858. You can find more details at http://www.englandathletics.org/coaching—central-to-successful-athletics/qualifying-as-a-coach
Let me know if you are interested!
