A great turn out this evening and it was great to see some familiar faces back at the Running Club. Mike has been away since April and it was great to have him back along with his Daughter Maggie. They both had a great 1st run back too, completing the 3.1mile route in under 12mins per mile! They were joined by Heather and Miles. For Heather running in group of 4 provided just the motivation she needed as she smashed her Personal Best taking a whole minute per mile off her averages. Thanks to Miles too for encouraging them round in my absence.
Someone else achieving their Personal Best this evening was the other Mike. Although he is suffering a slight ITB strain, Mike set off like an Exocet missile again this week completing the first mile in just 6m50s. The hills slowed him down a little but he still completed the 5.6mile in an average of just 7m 37s per mile, 4seconds per mile quicker than his previous best!
Greg was back after his Great South Run Heroics and he has still got the running bug!! A fall half way round the course this evening set him back a little but it didn’t stop him completing the course in a very respectable 10m 33s per mile. He was joined on the route by Charles, who finished just a few seconds ahead. Both runners are looking at completing the next 10k challenge, the Stubbington, on January 19th.

Also completing the longer 5.6m route this evening were Pete and Paul. Pete had a great run enjoying the final 1.5mile downhill “sprint” to clock a great 8m44s average. Paul missed a turn but still managed an excellent 9.38 average. Well done gents!
Same routes next week!! If you have been involved in the running club previously or interested in getting involved, please complete our short survey to let us know what you would like from the club. Many thanks – https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9HM6V26
