A good turn out this evening even though it was a wet start for the runners. Once the new routes had been explained the runners were paired up as per the risk assessment to be safe in the dark and they were set lose!
Carl was running with new runner to New Life Training, Leyon, the pair of them are training for an upcoming Dualathlon. I’m not sure who was pushing whom but Leyon was definitely keen to up the ante next week and push for the full 6mile route. Their time of 50mins for the 5.3mile route this evening was very impressive! Welcome to the club Leyon.
Rose was new to the club last week and in only her second run she was paired with Dawn and the returning “Motivating Mandy”. The three ladies had a great run, finishing the 4.2mile route in just over 11mins per mile. This was a new PB speed for Rose as well as a new PB on distance as well. Awesome Rose Well done! It was also one of Dawns fastest runs! Well done Motivating Mandy and welcome back!
Greg and Charles set off together on the 5.3mile route, They certainly pushed each other well and Greg’s return to fitness is showing a marked improvement, his last three runs have averaged – 11m10s, 10m15s and now 9m54s very good Greg and nearly back to where you left off!! Well done to Charles too!
Off on their own were Sandy and Mike. Sandy took a shorter route to get back to Enjoy Fitness Studio in time for his Tabata class. His very quick 3.8miles sufficient enough as a warm up for the class apparently! Mike on his recovery trail from injury was really pleased to “plod” round the 5.3mile track in an average of 8m 24s! Great to see no ill-effects with the leg though.
Same routes this Friday and the following Monday!
Mondays RC will continue as usual throughout the Christmas festivities. The Friday club will be off on the 25th and Jan 1st.

Friday Running Club News for 11/12/15
Another great run as the team set off on these routes for the last time. All 4 chose the 4.5mile route and I am pleased to say all 4 managed to completed the route today without any detours or mistakes! There were some great performances too. Leigh-Ann flew round in a record time, her 8m53s average was due to the music she listened too apparently, plus with no one able to keep up with her she had no one to talk to and used her oxygen to spur her on faster. Great run Leigh-Ann, well done!
Gemma was pushing Chester in the speedmobile again today and did much better up the hills taking a huge 30seconds per mile off her PB last week! Chester was not that impressed though as he slept all the way round!
Charlotte had a great run too, finishing just outside her PB by just 6 seconds per mile. And Greg must have had 4 Shredded Wheat for breakfast as he took off over a minute per mile from last weeks time to finish just outside the 9mins per mile average! Well done team!
