It was the last running club meeting before the Great South Run and unfortunately for many it has come round too quick. We have a lot of injuries this year. Scolded feet, bad backs, knackered knees and plantar fasciitis!!! But with a smile on our faces those who could run tonight ran in style!!
Out front Mike ran the full 6mile route and was just outside his PB average finishing in less than 8mins per mile! Pete and Mark swopped roles for the evening, with Pete pushing Mark round keeping him going when stopping seemed the preferred option! They completed the 4.8miles in 3mins 20sec quicker than last week, which was quite a surprise! Alistair hopped round the course in his final run before the Great South. No electric pace but assurance he will be able to complete the 10miles next weekend!
Paul had a good run tonight clocking an average of 9m 19s per mile on the 4.8m course. He is worried about being slower than last year on the Great South, but looking back his final run before last years GSR was an average of 9m 16s!! So not much in it Paul, and you ran the Lee-on-Solent quicker this year!! So expectation are high for you this Sunday!!
Miles found it tough without his music motivating and pace setting him this evening, and he was a little slower, but watch this space as with a reduction in load (water bottle and thick jumper) he will be like lightning next week as we look to complete these routes for the last time.
Well done to all the runners this evening and good luck to all running the Great South Run next Sunday!
