Monday 5th March 2018
New routes this evening and we are back to the tough hilly routes so to work on fitness and anaerobic threshold. I did mess up however, posting route maps on social media only to discover that the routes I planned differed from those sent out, sorry!! But at least the routes were shorter!!! Everyone stuck to the routes I briefed in before the run and we tried to partner up to ensure no one ran alone. Karen told Mike she would keep him in her sights as she was not 100% confident of the route. Mike stated that she wouldn’t be able to see him………..because he would be behind her. He wasn’t wrong either, Karen had said she was going to have a steady run, but she smashed it 7m46s average per mile is very impressive. Mike wasn’t slow either and considering this is a hilly tough route his 8mins per mile was very impressive. As for the young boys, they’re competition continues. Following on from Aarons win last week it was Owen who was on form this evening, beating his brother by 25seconds . Well done the pair of you for great split times on a tough course.
Carl had run everyday in February in the ENJOY FRED challenge. So he deserved the last 4 days off. He was back with vengeance today though, smashing a 8m 32s average out, all that running last month has clearly made a difference Carl, well done.
Knowing what to wear was a problem this evening. Last weeks blizzards had passed and it was warmer, however rain threatened. Cat nearly came in her pajamas, but remember to change out of them before coming to the club. She wasn’t at all sleepy though and, running with Nina, they completed 4.1miles in well under 11mins per mile. Well done. For those running a little longer this evening swimming trunks would have been the best item to wear. The heavens opened and downpour ensued. I haven’t run in the rain in Warsash like that for a long time, which shows how lucky we are with the running club. It was good fun though, running with new recruit Sarah, she tore up the hills and put in a fantastic performance with a 9m05s and 8m57s in the last two miles. Well done Sarah. Charles and Lisa also had a great run before being soaked to the skin. They’re 10mins per mile was not bad after Charles’ holiday!!
Same routes next week team.
And Finally……
We now have our own twitter account for all things running. Please check it out @enjoyrunclub. More exciting developments coming soon!!!
