The distances were increased for tonight’s run ahead of the Great South Run (GSR) in 2 weeks. A great turn-out helped motivate the runners who all seem to be peaking at the right time. It was a welcome back to two runners who have not been to the club for a couple of months but are both due to complete the GSR – Alistair has just 2 runs to prepare for this year’s events and he completed tonight’s run in style with a quick average of 9m54s. Also back was Alan, he has been doing some secret training and it showed as he completed the 5.8mile route in an average of 9m34s, well done Alan!
We grouped a few people up this evening and it worked as 5 of the runners completed personal bests with the group. In the ladies groups Christine and Julie pushed each other round and an exciting sprint finish saw both of them achieve PBs with the NLT running club, an average of 10m 12s. Not bad considering they both were averaging nearly 11mins per mile just 4 weeks ago!! Well done Ladies. In the other ladies group Sharon, Pam and Morgan encouraged each other round without stopping to another quick time averaging 13m20s per mile!! For the lads Fraser and Pete took Jack round the longer, 5.8m route and he put in the performance of the night completing the route in an average of just 8m 18s per mile, this is compared to his first run with the group 3 weeks ago of 10m18s!!! Finally Charles teamed up with Tracey and between them they put in a great performance with both achieving personal bests of 10m 37s averages, we done guys!!!
Next week – same routes and the last chance to prepare for the GSR!!
The logistics for the GSR will be out at the weekend, watch this page for more details.
