Running Club News 23/4/18

Monday April 23rd

After last weeks poor attempt at following the new routes whereby only 33% of the runners actually achieved the correct circuit, Karen and Aaron decided to drive the route first this evening to make sure they got it right. It proved to be good tactics as Aaron smashed the route, his 7m 07 s per mile was amazing. Karen was not far behind with an awesome 7m 43s, she was keeping in vision of Mike, who pipped her to the finish by just 24seconds. It was Mikes last run this evening with the club as he moves away from the area. We wish you well Mike and thank you for all your hard work and dedication with the runs that has inspired others just to simply try and keep up with you!! Keep the fitness up and we hope to see you again sometime! Mike wanted me to pass on his best wishes to you all as well!!

The running club was somewhat depleted this evening. Primarily due to the fact that a lot of the runners were tired after yesterdays run – watching the London Marathon can be very draining!! For some though yesterday was a big day. Lisa and Greg ran the Southampton 10k, finishing well in hot conditions in 1h02m and 1h08m respectively. Sarah ran her first ever half marathon, completing the Southampton half in just 2hour 17mins, amazing! She even turned up to the club this evening and put in a great performance for a 3.1mile recovery run. Well done to all the runners yesterday, who did well in tough conditions.

For Sue and Lou this was a longer run than they had been used to this evening. 4.7miles is a big jump from the 4miles they did last time. But it didn’t seem to bother them as they finished in style with a fast sub – 10min per mile average, the first sub-10 that Lou has achieved with the club and a new personal best for her, well done! Well done also to Nick, who smashed the 4.7mile route with ease!!

Same routes next week for the last time.
