A beautiful sunny day in Warsash this morning and for the first time this year it actually felt hot running!! This didnt slow people down though as we started the 3 week rotation with a new route today. Everyone opted for the 4.6mile circuit. A tough route designed to improve peoples fitness levels as we approach the Eastleigh 10k. The route incompasses several short step hills and if they are attacked well it will get the heart rates in to the anaerobic zone causing an overload on the heart that will improve your fitness levels and increase your aerobic capacity. It definitley worked today for Jane, who completed this distance for the very first time! A great run shows she is on track for the 10k in 4 weeks time!! For Pete, Sue and Charles the comraderie of running together really helped today as both Charles and Sue both achieved their Personal Bests with the Running Club on argueably a tough route. For Chares this is the first time he has averaged under 9 mins per mile! A great achievement and perfect timing ahead of the imminent 10k race! Sue had a great run too, as she improved for the third consecutive run and brought her average down from over 10mins per mile to less than 9!!! Thanks to Pete who set the pace and finished his week with an excellent run.
Apologies to Greg for missing him off the blog for Mondays Running Club, we missed him today as he was absent ill! Get well soon Greg and we hope to see you Monday!!
Alistair, was also full of cold but he forced himself round and amazingly managed the course non-stop. A big improvement expected for next week if he can shift his cold in time!
Finally Jo F, had another amazing run as she beat her PB split for the 4th consecutive run!! Well done Jo, you are improving very well at the moment! Her average of 9m 47s per mile is very impressive!
A chance to improve next week now you know the routes. New routes also for this mondays RC which you can see on Facebook!
