There were three routes to chose from this evening, each with their own challenges. It was great to see all three routes used and although there were no Personal Best times recorded this evening there were some awesome performances.
Firstly, returning from a knee injury we had Jo back! She teamed up with Sharon to run the 3.1mile route as part of her staged return to running. I’m not sure if she was supposed to run quite that fast though as her 9m 17s per mile was extremely quick and shows she hasn’t lost any of her speed! Well done Jo and well done Sharon for pushing her along!!
With the Eastleigh 10k just a few weeks away those participating were encouraged to run the longer 5.8mile route this evening. In a fast start Rob was actually keeping up with Mike for the first mile or at least until they both faded in to the distance from the rest of the pack. Rob couldn’t keep up though as Mike finished with a 6m 56s average, not far from a PB! Rob’s average was still very impressive, his 7m 19s per mile was just 2 secs per mile off last weeks PB! Well done Gents. Nick was next to finish on this route. He is a little further along the knee recovery training than Jo, the 5.8mile route was one of the furthest runs Nick has achieved for a while. Even more pleasing was his time, a lightning quick 7m 51s per mile average, his fastest in 2015!! Also entered in the Eastleigh is Alistair, he ran this evenings longer route with Mandy, the pair of them completing the route in 9m 15s average. Very quick and looking good for the Eastleigh!!
Pete is doing the Eastleigh but wisely is saving his knees for the race itself and opted for the middle distance route of approx 4.5miles. Nina and Carl are also running the 10k and running together today they were pleased to put some miles in to the legs. There was no problem with the distance so I am sure there will be no problem with the 10k!!! Well done guys!! Mandy B also stretched her legs today and completed her furthest distance since joining the club. She said she found her mojo on the way round and didn’t want to stop!! Awesome!! It was a good time too Mandy, well done! Tom was like lightning last week and this week was no different on a longer route, his 9m 07s one of his fastest runs and on a good distance too. Maggie, running with Sat Nav this evening, also was fast, her 2nd quickest run ever with the running club!!! Her last PB being in June last year!! Well done Mags!!
Same routes next week and a chance to improve before the Eastleigh 10k
