The runners were given the choice of three routes – 3miles, 4.1 or just under 5miles this evening. The overwhelming majority was initially the 4.1, however a little peer pressure and they all ended up running the very enjoyable 4.8mile route. There were no complaints at the end either as a cold night provided perfect conditions for this evenings run.
Mike was held hostage in the Isle of Wight so Nick had a turn to lead from the front. It was cold so we had to run fast was the shout! As Nick finished in one of his best times of the year in probably his last run of the year, a 7m 48s average was fantastic! Pete was not far behind either. He is supposed to be easing his way back in to running but a 8m33s average is anything but easing in!! Well done Pete!
Sharon was representing the ladies this evening and did a fine job. She kept Carl going as well as the pair of them finished in 9m 23s per mile. Tom was running this evening with his new insoles, he has clearly got used to them as he finished just 6 seconds per mile off his PB! An 8m 56s per mile is only the 2nd time I believe he has got under 9mins per mile, brilliant. Sat Nav pushed him all the way as well, even with a slight detour (as always) at the end of Heath Road North, Sat Nav finished under 9 mins per mile.
Alistair had found a bar at the weekend selling Vodka and Redbull for £2! He certainly still had wings this evening, as he blasted through the course for an average just over 9mins per mile. Not far behind Alistair were Greg and Charles, Greg seemed to get faster and faster as he approached the finish, I really didn’t think he would stop. His 9m 37s was one of his fastest outside of a handicap run! He has certainly moved up a gear in recent weeks. Charles also is showing signs of improving. He has one of the most efficient running gaits of the club and will soon be challenging some of the front boys!!
Well done all, same routes next week!
