Here is the weekends running club news –
Friday 29th Janaury
It was a very windy day. I had designed the flattest possible route for the Friday group due to the buggie runners we now have. I therefore had expected a few PBs today. I don’t think it worked though, firstly the wind was horrendous, slowing everyone down. Secondly, I didn’t calculate how much children grow at that age, (its been a long time since mine were that young!) , So any gradient is proving harder and harder each week and there are always going to be a few hills running in Warsash! Overall though some great times team! Well done! In particular a great run by Joanne on her first time back since Christmas.

Monday 1st February
Another windy run this evening!! As the participants undertook the second attempt at the “willy-run” now also nicknamed “Frogger” for all the crossing over the roads that is required. (I have the feeling this is not one of the best routes I have ever come up with!). Still, there were some great performances this evening. Carl and Alistair set off on a mission, completing the first mile in just over 7 minutes!! Their final average of 8m 53s was fantastic and Alistair’s fastest since May last year!! Well done Gents! They were going that fast coming down Brook Lane that the 30MPH road sign flashed at them!!
The route is somewhat complicated and it was Greg’s first attempt at the route. There was some uncertainty on whether we would ever see Greg again with this course. A few runners wanted to donate Greg some coins so he could catch the pink ferry back if he got lost. But he did well, stayed on track and didn’t need to ask for directions once!! I think it was his new haircut allowing him to see where he was going! Well done Greg, It will be easier next week now you know the route.
Gemma had a great run this evening, free from the buggie pushing she flew up Brook lane and recorded her 3rd fastest run with the club!! She was assisted by Louise who finished in her 2nd best ever time. Fantastic ladies, next week PBs from you two!!
Sharon and Dawn took to the 3.7mile route this evening after Dawn had missed the last two weeks. They had a great run too, the break clearly did Dawn some good. They finished with 11m 21s per mile one of Dawns fastest runs! Well done!
Mike was also back this evening, the rest clearly also doing him some good as he flew round in sub- 8 mins per mile, well done Mike, good to see you back! Just outside the 8mins per mile was Pete, on a slightly shorter course this evening, Pete flew round in mega-quick time, I think they must have had one poured in the ferryman ready!
Same routes next week team for the last time.
