A massive thank you to Carl this evening as he took charge of the running club in my absence. He organised things well as everyone ran as a team. This included new recruit Faith, who in her first run with the club, completed 5miles with no problem at all. Well done to all the runners this evening. Great performance

Friday 12th May
It was team Blue today as everyone turned up in their Great South Run blue t-shirts today quite randomly, we even saw another runner out with the same top on….spooky!! Richard had an early run today due to work commitments, but he “clocked in” his time and a very impressive hour run for 7.5miles, the furthest he has ever run, well done Richard! Also impressing today was Greg. Before running club he had completed 38 lengths of the pool, followed by a cycle ride to the club where we had to overt our eyes has he changed in his “transition”. He completed his triathlon training with a very impressive four and a half miles at a good pace too. Well done Greg, very impressive. Well done also to Lisa, another sub 10min per mile performance. But we need to up the miles next week girl!!

Monday 15th May
All of the routes seemed slightly shorter than planned this evening. Then I realised that there has been a footpath installed to cut off the corner going into Allotment Road. I think this is after many years of Pete cutting the corner and wearing out the grass there so a path had to be installed. It only took 0.1mile off the distances though!! There was quite a variation in distances chosen this evening. Mandy, Rose, Nina and Sharon opted for the 3.6miles and the ladies flew round. I was personally chasing them down Brook Lane but their turn of speed at the end was very impressive.
Faith was running just her 2nd run with the club, but was brave enough to opt for the longer 5.6mile route. Running with Gemma and Sue the three of them set off at a fast pace. Gemma was taken down by a rogue fly to the eye, before encountering some road rage then developing a stitch (not the best of runs this evening, although still sub-9mins per mile!). This left just Sue and Faith to battle it out down Brook Lane. They finished together in style, with Faith setting a new PB with the club – an amazing 8m 53s per mile average. For Sue this was her fastest run since 9th May 2016!! Over a year ago!! Amazing ladies, well done!!
Carl also took the longer route, this guy is really living up to his Superman underpants now! Another amazing run, and another PB – just 8mins per mile average over the 5.6miles and I am now getting nervous that I might get beaten at the London 10k in a few weeks! At the turn of the year Carl was doing 9m 40s per mile, now look at him go!! Well done!
Rich opted for the middle ground this evening, wise having missed a few weeks with the club. He didn’t seem to have lost any speed though, finishing just 2 seconds per mile off his PB with a very impressive sub 9min per mile average.
Well done team, same routes next week!!
