Friday Running Club November 10th and 17th

New routes for the Warsash Running Club as we start to prepare for the Stubbington 10k in January – our next competitive event. The Stubbington run does contain a few gradients and so these routes have been designed to prepare for those. i.e. its a bit hilly, therefore not many Personal Bests (PBs) can be expected over the coming weeks. The Friday groups went first to attack the challenge. All 4 participants chose the 4.5mile mid-range option the first week with everyone setting a great time. Nick B was back the following week and smashed it, taking 2minutes off his previous weeks time.  Jo was also in attendance the 2nd week and nailed the 3.5 mile route in super-quick fashion. Last time on these routes this Friday team.

Monday November 13th

Although the routes have been chosen to assist in preparation for the Stubbington 10k the majority of the runners this evening are not involved in the run. Infact we had 5 relatively new runners to the club in attendance with just 3 “old-timers” around. It worked out well though, as those experienced with the club tacked on to the newbies and helped them round the new routes. I do use the term “helped” loosely however, as Greg, teamed up with Cat & Celia, took the girls on the 4.5,mile route as opposed to the agreed 3.5miles, the girls did brilliant though. We did cut it short but they finished non-stop for their furthest ever distance with the club and a challenging route at that. Charles was also on hand to help out, and he teamed up with Lou and Sues for their first time with the running club. They loved it! and with Charles’ motivation they completed the 3.5miles non-stop and in a great time too. That left me to run with Geoff for only his 2nd run with the club. He tore up the challenging course and set himself a new PB as well – 7m 48s per mile, very fast!! Well done Geoff.

Monday November 20th

It was great to see last weeks newbies back again this week. Geoff teamed up with Carl and smashed the 4.5mile route again. Carl struggling after a few weeks away has a new challenger now and I am sure we will see some good runs from these guys in the coming weeks. Sues was back, unfortunately without Lou, but she teamed up with Lisa and the too of them put the world to right on their way round. The chatting obviously took their mind off the running as Sues smashed her time from last week to set a new PB of 10m 29s – super fast and nearly a whole minute per mile quicker than last week. Their sprint finish to catch Geoff was worth the entrance fee alone. Well done!! Cat and Celia were also back, and although they had to cut their run short they were flying this evening. A shorter run but a quickest ever and a new PB for them too – 10m 50s per mile is awesome!!!

Sharon and Kate had a great run, opting for the longer route of 4.5miles, they paced it perfectly and finished with a great time of 10m 42s per mile. Well done ladies. Nick was on his own attempting the longer route and his 8m 30s average was very impressive. Well done. We also welcomed new runner to the club, Emily. Emily completed the GSR in 90mins and is in for the London marathon next year. She certainly looks as though she will have no problem either as she whizzed round the 3.5miles in just over 30minutes this evening. I am sure we will see Emily upping the miles and speed very quickly with the club in the coming weeks. Well done!

Same routes next week for the final time.
