Friday 12th February
I think the cold weather put a few people off today, but the three ladies who did turn up really gave it they’re all, as we completed this route for the last time. Firstly, Jo had run an amazing run last week on this route, finishing just outside her PB, this week was a little slower but still one of her fastest ever with the running club. Well done Jo! For Joanne, she achieved her PB last Friday and this week she beat it again, set a new record for herself, and a 20second per mile improvement on last weeks time, superb Joanne, excellent!! Then we have Charlotte, just returning from a skiing holiday, I think she was secretly doing altitude training over there, as she flew round today. Her previous PB of 11m14s per mile was smashed by 68seconds today…..phenomenal!!!!
Well done Ladies! New routes next week.

Monday 15th February
It was a very clear sky this evening which meant an extremely cold night. It was a warming turnout though, with 13 runners braving the weather! We had new routes this evening, very basic to follow and a choice of 4.4miles, 3.7miles or 5.6miles! So I am not sure how three of the runners managed 4.5miles!! and how one runner managed to do part of the route backwards. Anyhow, the new routes along with the cold weather meant we had some extremely fast times this evening!
We had a small team of Leyon, Carl and Alistair all in team colours this evening who set off extremely quickly down Warsash Road! They kept the pace going well too, with all 3 of them finishing in an average of under 9mins per mile. For Leyon, this was his fastest run with the club and a very impressive 8m 37s per mile. Well done!
Rose and Nina set off quick too on the shorter route. It was Roses’ first run in several weeks and she was certainly full of energy as she smashed her previous PB with the club to achieve an 11m 24s average, Awesome! For Nina, it was a chance for her to try out her new Valentines present ….. a new Myzone MZ-3! It worked well, showing 628 calories burned and 202 MEPs earnt!! Fantastic Nina, great effort. For more information on the Myzone equipment see below!
It was great to see Nick back this evening. He teamed up with Pete to blast away some cobwebs and fly round the shorter circuit in just over 9mins per mile. Great run gents! Sharon and Dawn were not far behind them. Dawn improving on her last runs PB, to have 2 consecutive personal bests! Her 10m 19s per mile is an amazing 2m 14s per mile better than when she started, and she is running further!! Fantastic Dawn! and thank you Sharon for motivating her round!!
Louise, Gemma and Charles all set off well this evening. It was a fast start but they seemed to just get faster!! Gemma really enjoyed the route and the run and it is clear to see why. Their 9m 21s average for mile was her fastest with the club, as was Louise’s average!! Being chased by Charles really seems to have some benefits!
Finally, Mike stormed the long route this evening. A slight detour down Dibles the wrong way, but the adjudicator has indicated it worked out to be the same distance, roughly! His 7m 31s was extremely impressive!!!
Same routes next week guys and a chance to further improve on your PBs. Well done all!!!

MYZONE
A few of the runners this evening were asking about the new Myzone product we have at the club. Well, It is a fantastic bit of kit that will measure your heart rate, calories and effort as you run with the club or even on your own. For a limited time I have a £50 off discount code – NLTUK001 that will bring the price down of this product significantly. It would be great to have a few of the runners using the product as we can also publish effort rates as well as times and distances. Some people obviously work extremely hard to achieve their times and it would be good to mention and reward them for it on here! Find out more information on the Myzone belt
