Well after the first week off the running club has had in about 4 years last Monday, it was going to be interesting to see if the rest did anyone any good this evening!
The majority of the runners pitched for the further distance of 5.6miles as we set off in blustery conditions with a light rain that felt quite refreshing at times. There were a lot of new trainers on show this evening, and having spent a little time researching all eyes were on Greg and how he would perform with his new tyre wear! His energy boost addidas certainly gave him a boost as he completed the route a whole minute faster than last time! Well done Greg!
Also improving on the last time out was Sharon. Using a heart rate monitor to judge the pace and running with Personal Trainer Padawan, Charles, Sharon shaved nearly two-and-a-half minutes off the route from the last time. Fantastic Sharon and well done Charles!!
It was mentioned this evening that the sonic boom wasn’t quite as loud as normal this evening. Some felt it may have been the wind blowing in the wrong direction, but Mike still had an amazingly fast 6m 47s per mile run, it was just 12 seconds slower than last week.
Alistair opted for a shorter route this evening and managed to keep a faster pace than the longer route last time. His 8m 35s was very good and was a pace setter for Pete who ran with Alistair initially before taking the longer route. He had the most improved award of the evening taking 4minutes off his time from the last attempt. The weeks break proving a success for Pete. However, Pete looked very nervous running this evening, constantly looking over his shoulder for Jo and Sue to come whizzing by like last time. He managed to fend them off this evening though. However, Jo had an amazing sprint finish, well actually the sprint was after the finish, but when you got to go you got to go!! Jo’s fast finish left her mum just 10seconds behind in a very good time of 50mins 41s for 5.6miles. Well done Sue!!
Thank you to all the runners this evening. Same routes next week for the final time!
