Running Club News 21/5/18

Monday 21st May 2018

We had new routes this evening, and with the recent sunny warm weather I had decided to take the runners cross country. This afternoon however we experienced a thunder storm and huge deluge of rain! So pre-warned that the route may be a mud bath this evening we all set off.

Becky, running for only the 2nd time with the club, had a great run and set a new PB of 9m 25s per mile, taking 11 seconds per mile off last weeks split time. This achievement was made more impressive by the fact she was running with Kate, Sharon and Amy on a very eventful run. Amy had to stop due to a calf strain, then Kates bag broke and they had to make “running” repairs on route. The course itself with the cross-country lanes does not lend itself to quick times, so well done Becky and well done Sharon and Kate for keeping her going. Also running the 4.7mile route were Cat and Nina, apart from a quick pause to check google maps for the route ( I should have called it orienteering not a running club) they completed the route non-stop and in a great time too. Well done ladies.

Carl, Charles, Sarah and Jo all set off together to complete the tough long 6.3mile route. They did it in style too, Carl coming in first just under the hour with Sarah just 39 seconds over the hour. Jo and Charles had great times too, it was the first long distance for quite a while for the pair of them and they completed it very well.

Also running the long route was Owen, he had a great run, averaging 7m 30s per mile, even over the cross-country element. All this on the eve of his GCSE English exam as well. Good luck with that tomorrow Owen!!

I am not here for the next 2 Monday running club sessions. A massive thank you to Charles for filling in while I am away. Same routes for the next 2 weeks. New routes on my return!
