It was “the day after” today!!! The day after the Victory 10k for most and for Charles the day after a cross country 10k up North somewhere. Charles did fantastic in his 10k though – 59:54, and, for most of it, running on gravel. The rest of the runners ran the 10k in Portsmouth, you can see the results at Victory 10km Results
Tonight was really a cool down from the weekend for most, and although the runners were given a choice of 3, 4 or 5 miles they all opted for the longer distance!! This phase of the Great South Run preparation is focusing on speed, with a fast route planned the 6 runners set off. There was no Sat Nav this evening as he is too fit at the moment and needed to loaf a little more to get to our level. His daughter took on his mantra though and soon found herself off the route following Greg. I am not sure exactly how far they ran this evening but they finished the run coming from a totally different direction to everyone else!! Like father like daughter!! Although Mags did blame Greg and not her Dad this time! Tom was one of the few runners who wasn’t involved in a race at the weekend, and he used the speed circuit to good effect beating his previous runs PB by 6seconds per mile, well done Tom!! Sharon also had a great run, consistent as ever she finished in exactly the same average as her last run!! Alistair did the pace setting for everyone this evening and with both Charles and Alistair wearing their orange B&Q 10k tops it was a case of a Sharon finishing as a rose between two oranges! Well done to all this evening!
Same routes next week team!!
