New routes this evening for the runners as we start to prepare for the Marwell 10k run in May. All the routes were tough this evening as a third of the route was on uneven loose ground. This uses up alot of energy both physically and mentally and the heart rates were certainly higher than normal as people came through the lanes. Many of the runners had to slow down or walk briefly this evening as the extra energy used took its toll, but this is the idea behind this circuit as it will improve fitness levels. The challenge next week is for everyone to get round non-stop!
On to this evening and a warm welcome to Maggie, who ran her first run with the Warsash Running Club. She had a great run and apart from nearly getting run over she managed to complete the run and finish before her dad, Mike! Well done Maggie, we hope to see you again next week. The courses were much harder this week so the two people who achieved their Personal Best speeds should feel very pleased with themselves. Claire, who changed her pre-run preperation this evening and set herself a big reward for finishing well, smashed her personal best time and acheived a 9m 32s average mile speed, awesome. Barbara had a fantastic run, and equalled her personal best speed on a much harder route. Shes has put in for the Marwell 10k now and so the gradients today will help in her preperation for that run.
Kyle and Pete set the course record today for everyone to beat next week. A superfast 8m16s average pace for the longer route, and I think they stopped at Petes on the way round for Pimms! Pam, Fiona and Kathy all had great runs and found the 3.54m route a challenge, but they all managed it extremely well.
Well done to all the other runners as well, same routes next week.
