It was the second time with these routes although a few people changed their run this evening with the imminent 10k race this Sunday. When Nina asked if anyone would run with her on the 3.1mile route this evening there was a big queue!! In a selection process that could match “The voice” Nina decided to go with Sharon and the pair set off on the 3.1mile route. They really pushed each other round and ended up with a fantastic average of 11m17s per mile, A personal best for Nina. Well done! Nina should gain loads of confidence from this evenings run going in to Sundays 10k!! Well done to Sharon for running with her!
Also breaking records this evening was Mandy, she has been improving again recently, but this evenings run of 4.5miles was awesome. She averaged just 8m 37s to set a new PB! Well done Mandy. She had started the run with Alistair who has been helping with the pace setting in recent weeks, however his cold got the better of him during the route and he had to drop back. He still completed the run and hopefully will be better ready for Sundays race.
Mike set off like a rocket this evening, but this time he was being chased!! He was given about a 400 yard head start before I decided to try and keep up with him this evening. I slowly closed the gap and up Hunts Pond Road got to within striking distance. Mike is used to running on his own at that pace so he jumped a little as I passed him coming down Brook Lane. The only problem……I was going full speed and Mike was still only in 3rd gear! He put on a sprint to beat me by 30 seconds. Thanks though Mike as I believe it was my PB with the running club just to try and catch up with you!
Rob and Nick had a great tussle this evening running the longer route. They kept over taking each other, pushing each other faster and faster. Nick finally just pipped Rob with a sprint finish down Brook Lane to secure a 1 second lead. Great times though gents, well done. Good luck to Nick who is doing the Richmond 10k this Sunday and to Rob who is doing the Eastleigh 10k!
Pete and Carl both opted for the middle distance route this evening as both were saving their energy and legs for Sundays big race. Two great times though Gents with Pete 30seconds faster per mile than last week and Carl finishing just outside 9mins per mile!
Finally, Sat Nav managed the longer 5.8mile route this evening. Although he did run it on his own having missed the start time! Well done though Mike on great commitment in setting off and running the route on your own. A good time too, under 9mins per mile, awesome!!
