Running Club News 9/4/18

Monday 9th April 2018

Busy week, so sorry for the delay in publishing this weeks blog. It is worth the wait though. It was the last attempt on these routes before we go for a new 3 week challenge starting next week. So a chance for people to put in a Personal Best. Mike took his chance on the 5.8mile route, shaving 45 seconds off last weeks time to hit a course best for himself in a sub 8min per mile average. Well done Mike!! Lisa also had her best run on this course, setting off extremely quickly, she slowed in the middle section before Charles caught her up and pulled her along for the last mile to record a comfortable 9m49s. Charles finished just a few seconds ahead of Lisa but a few seconds behind last week. Nick C shows he is well on the way to recovering from his damaged ankle as he recorded his fastest route time, his 8m53s average was his first sub 9min per mile run for a while and chopped a huge 3mins off last weeks run!! Awesome! Carl was close to clocking his fastest lap, but missed out by just 30seconds, great run though Carl, well done.

For Greg this was his first attempt at these routes, but it was like he hadn’t been away. A very strong run and a fantastic 10m 20s average, his 2nd fastest run of the year. Well done Greg! Also doing a new course this evening was Sarah. She is gearing up for the Southampton half Marathon in a few weeks, and having completed 10miles on Thursday she went for nearly 12 tonight, the furthest she has ever run!!!! Although she did come back like a drowned rat, wringing her top out, having been caught in a rain storm. She completed it non-stop though and in 1h59m58s!! Phenomenal, well done Sarah, I am sure you will smash the half marathon now!!

Nina, Sharon, Cat and Lydia all teamed up for a nice social run this evening, just fast enough to beat the rain but slow enough to catch up and put the world to right. Well done ladies.
