Today was the start of the speed phase of the preparation for the Great South Run. The runners got straight in to the spirit of the day too with some fantastic performances. Jo, Sharon and Mandy all ran together at the beginning, taking it in turns to set the pace before Jo and Mandy made a break for the front in a speedy finish! They crossed the line together with both achieving Personal Best Averages with the running club. For Jo it was her first sub- 9min per mile average and an awesome achievement. For Mandy the 8m53s took 30s per mile off her first run with the club just 2 weeks ago and at this rate of improvement she could be in the prize money at the Great South Run this year!! Sharon had a great finish too, completing the run just 4 seconds per mile outside her PB with a very sore foot as well!!! Greg found it tough going this morning, but without a running partner and pace setter it can be tough. I will be back next week to run with you Greg….hopefully!!
Good Luck to all the runners attending this Sundays Victory 10k in Portsmouth.
