Running Club News 6/4/15

It was a glorious Bank Holiday Monday today, the sun shining and temperature in the 20’s! It took a lot of motivation to decline the BBQs and drag yourselves along to running club this evening. A massive well done to the 7 of you who did!!

There were some fantastic performances as well. Nina, who ran yesterday as well, set a new Personal best time today!! Running with her partner, Carl, they sprinted the 3.1mile route in an average of 10m 24s!!! This is fantastic as it took a massive 46seconds per mile off her Nina’s previous best average! Well done the pair of you, that fitness is still improving!

Setting another PB today was Nick, well it was a PB of sorts….It was his fastest average since September 2013 and post-knee issues. Maybe we should call it a PKPB (Post-Knee). Either way it was an extremely fast run averaging just 7m43s. This was made all the more remarkable as Nick had completed a grueling Bootcamp class for an hour with me earlier in the day!! Well done Nick! Pete had all good intentions on keeping up with Nick, but by the first corner it was clear a more reserved but enjoyable run was required today. An average of less than 9mins per mile is still impressive though.

Greg managed to take a detour again this week. He said afterwards, he enjoyed his bespoke route last week he thought he would do it again this week. And so he did! A slightly slower average, but a very impressive 6miles completed, well done Greg!

Alistair was back this evening having missed a few runs due to work. I think he was sponsored by Tequilla again this evening following a particularly busy weekend, but he flew round the route keeping just ahead of Jo to average 9m 19s. Jo, who seems to have fully recovered from her knee problem, finished just behind Alistair in another excellent run!

Last chance on these routes next week
