It was due to be the hottest day of the year, but it didnt deter the runners who came along to improve on their times from last week. It was expected that the heat would really effect Greg but he set off like a rocket today, and he kept the fast pace up for over 3miles before slowing slightly in to the home straight. His 9m 42s per mile was his best average for nealry 2 months and shows he is back enjoying his running. Gregs performance may have been due to the longer warm up he performed in preparation – he had to park his car some way away from the park and ran to the start line!! It seemed to work though!
Jo also had a great run this morning, showing great consistency she finished about 10seconds behind her time of the previous week. Pete is still suffering from his knees but starting slower and building up the pace through the run seemed to help lots today as he, a bit like Jo, finished just 20 seconds behind his time of the previous week. Not bad given the heat today! Also running with the club this morning was Lindsey, she is undertaking a 10k on Sunday and wanted a good run today in preparation! She did fantastic, finishing with an average of just over 10mins per mile, which she should get under on Sunday with cooler conditions. Well done to all the runners today, same routes next week for the last time.
