Friday 11th March
We only had 2 runners for this mornings run, which was surprising seeing how the weather was so nice. Nick was officially working so had to run fast through the village so no one would see him. I think he needs to be working & running more often because his 8m 32s per mile was very impressive!! Greg took a longer route to take in the beautiful weather, he didn’t really hang-around though, his average of 9m 21s per mile also very impressive for a near 5mile route. Well done Gents. Nice routes, same again next Friday!
Monday 14th March
Another beautiful day on the South coast that turned in to a cold evening as the sun surrendered. Tonight therefore became the Silly Chilly Hilly Run (oh Dear! we really do have to stop these!). Everyone seemed to enjoy the challenging routes again this week and they do seem to be helping peoples fitness as all the runners who ran last week improved on their times this week! Firstly Charles took 3 seconds per mile off last weeks average. He put it down to Sharon egging him on for the last mile after she had finished her run and rejoined the team to push them for the last bit! Another great piece of motivation from Sharon, however, we maybe shouldn’t rely on her for the directions as she set off in totally the wrong direction this evening and had to be chased as she couldn’t hear the shouts through her music! Well done though Sharon and thanks for the motivation!!
Alistair missed last weeks run and he also missed Heath Road North on his way back this evening, not a bad section to miss Alistair. Still it was a very good run and a great average of 9m 37s, just ready for the Eastleigh 10k coming up this weekend. Dawn also had a great run this evening and her first experience of the silly hilly chilly Billy Milly Tilly (oh Stop!) route. Her 10m 51 is exceptionally good for this route, well done Dawn!
Greg had a 7seconds per mile improvement on last week. This is quite a significant improvement and shows the route along with the extra running Greg is doing currently is making him fitter. Well done Greg and good luck on Sunday at Eastleigh.
Finally, Jo and Carl opted for the 6.2mile route. This is a nearly-10k hilly route, but they managed it very well, averaging just over 9mins per mile!! Very impressive guys! Well done!
Same routes next week for the last time.
