Friday 9th February 2018
Lovely conditions for this mornings run and the introduction of new routes. Nick was happy to undertake the longer route on his own and mastered the course without getting lost. His 9mins per mile were very impressive as he was a little unsure where to go. Cat also pushed herself and ran the 4.3mile route. Plenty of hills along the way, so it was a great achievement when she had finished to realise she had set a new Personal Best split time. She ran the 4.3 miles in just 43.28 just outside the 10mins per mile average, amazing and well done Cat!!
Monday 12th February
Everyone was introduced to the new routes and, as it was an experienced team of runners in attendance this evening, I was pleased no one opted for the shorter route. Mike and Pete P opted for the longer 5.7mile circuit, with Pete managing to miss a turn and add on an extra 0.3 of a mile. He still smashed it though with a 7m 44s average. Mike’s knee was playing up this evening, and he did tremendously well to get round the lap non-stop, well done lads.
There was another group of gents running together this evening, in team Yellow. You really could not miss Carl, Charles and Rich running through Warsash village with their luminous tops on. Still, there is no chance they will get run over by a snow plough with those on. They ran well as a team too, increasing the speed when the wanted Rich to stop talking and concentrate on breathing. They all finished together though and a good first lap of this route with 9m 44s per mile split time. There was also a girls group this evening. Consisting of Sharon, Nina and Cat the three ladies tore up the course and finished with sprints at the end. They all thoroughly enjoyed this evenings run and it showed with a very good time, well done team!!
Sarah was hoping to do the longer route this evening, but lost track of the boys at the critical point and so defaulted back the the 4.3 mile route, good job as well, as her husband, Pete, went the wrong way anyway!! Sarah still put in a very good time though, just outside the 8mins per mile! Well done
Week 2 next week, so same routes and a chance to put in a faster lap!
