Friday March 31st
It was the last time on these routes today and the weather meant we re-ran the Monday routes again to save the off-road routes for another day! Lisa was back with us today having missed last week. She chose to run the shorter route as she , quote “wasn’t feeling it!”. Her time certainly didn’t reflect her not feeling it or without a mojo!! She achieved a PB today, her fastest ever route of 9m36s per mile #speedy!
Jo was also back to the club today, and another one determined to take it steady, she teamed up with Sharon and the pair of them tore up the 4.3 mile route, for Sharon this was the fastest run since November! as they finished with an average of just 9m 26s per mile! Well done Ladies!
Greg had a good run too, his 9m 38s per mile the fastest he has achieved on this route. Fantastic Greg. For Richard it was more about gait adjustment on todays run. It seemed to do the trick though as he sounded and looked much better and just 30 seconds outside last weeks time.
Well done team, new routes next week

Monday April 3rd
Last time on these routes this evening and a chance for people to put in a PB!! First of all though it was a massive welcome back to Sue, who we have missed during the winter, but she is back with vengeance this evening as she prepares for the London 10000 in a few weeks! She ran with Sharon this evening and the pair did fantastic round the 3.5mile route. Also running the 3.5miles this evening were Nina and Lydia, having achieved her PB speed last week Lydia was cunning, shortened the distance and smashed her PB to set a new record of 10m59s. Between them they managed to get in under the 11mins per mile target I set last week!! Well done ladies.
Gemma and Lou were taking it easy this evening. Having run all the way to Gosport yesterday ( I am sure most people run away from Gosport not too it!) They still managed 30seconds per mile quicker this evening to show Lou is well on the recovery road from her injury. Well done!!
Greg has been very consistent on this route, the last three laps have been 9m42s, 9m39s and tonight 9m43s All very consistent Greg well done!
Alistair was back this evening and has certainly been doing some homework!! He flew round the 5.5 route non-stop, not even for an inhaler puff!!! This resulted in Alistairs best ever run with the running club. This is an amazing achievement as his last PB was set in June 2014!!! It took me ages to look it up but his 8m 31s per mile then has now been surpassed with a 8m 22s run. He was running with Carl, who did have to stop, albeit briefly, just to throw up before continuing on to a PB of his own. It proved he was working to the maximum as he beat his last weeks record by 3 seconds!!! This proves how hard he was working, that heart rate is in the red an awful lot!!
Myself, Pete and Rich had a nice steady run, chatting on the way round and enjoying a pleasant evening. Thats what we thought until Lockswood Road when Pete popped a energy gel and all of a sudden the pace quickened!! Pete’s sub 9min per mile is average but for Rich this was another PB achieved and his 2nd ever run under 9mins per mile!! Well done Rich, awesome Pal!!
New routes to enjoy next week team!!
