It was the last run of the series today and a chance for those now familiar with the routes to go for a PB!
Pete set the standard, setting off with a fast pace and maintaining it throughout. He clearly enjoys this time of year, his last PB was set in April 2014 and this evenings 7m 47s per mile was his fastest since then! Well done Pete.
Clare, Hana and Lynne were back this evening after a couple of weeks absence. They didn’t know the routes but that didn’t stop them recording their best ever runs this evening. Clare achieved an amazing 12m23s per mile, this is a whooping 1m 16s quicker than her first run with the club and she is improving all the time. Also improving with every run is Hana, she recorded a 13m15s per mile this evening, nearly 2mins per mile better than her first run!! Well done ladies! and well done Lynne, she recorded her PB on this route two weeks ago but kept with them today helping to set the pace!
Nina had a great run this evening, it wasn’t her fastest but having completed a triathlon yesterday in an amazing time she could be forgiven. I haven’t even completed a triathlon so was very jealous running alongside her this evening. Well done Nina!! Her partner, Carl, was looking at a sprint time today, choosing to do the shorter distance, he was first to finish with a time of just 29mins! Very quick, and marginally outside his PB! definitely need a longer route for you next week Carl!
Greg and Sharon set off together and were neck and neck for most of the route. Greg finally putting in a push towards the end to pip Sharon by just 25seconds. A close finish and what looked like a great run for them both. Alistair, Mr Consistent!, had another sub 9mins per mile run even with a bit of asthma this evening. The high pressure hanging over the south as definitely effected the air quality and I think both Mandy and Alistair could feel that this evening. Still they were running together for the majority of the route until Mandys acceleration down Brook Lane just beat Alistair to the finish. Both had excellent sub – 9mins per mile times. Well done
Nick was the only brave soul who opted to go for the longer route this evening. Unfortunately a heel injury hampered his progress, but he made it round the route and his average of 8m 35s was still impressive! I hope it improves quickly Nick!
We are changing the routes for next week and so a great opportunity to come along and give us a try. Find out more about the enjoy fitness running club
