A big turn out this evening for the Monday Night Running Club in Warsash. The weather was dry but there was a definite chill in the air! There were three routes to chose from this evening ranging from 3miles to 6.1! Nina was first back after the group started together, she completed her route in sub-12mins per mile to set herself a new PB with the running club, well done Nina. Her husband, Carl also set a new PB as our two latest recruits to the club show great progress. Carl took a massive 20seconds per mile off his previous PB, awesome!!
We had both Mike (Sat Nav) and Greg running this evening, and with a slightly confusing route, it was expected that someone would go off track at some point. Both were kept on the straight and narrow though. Although Mike needed to sort his headband out as it was the wrong way around the Nike tick more like a frown than a tick!! Both had great runs though, Greg finished under 10mins per mile for the third consecutive week showing he is now becoming consistently fast and Mike, running with Mags for the first time since the GSR, completed the run in under 11mins per mile, well done Mags!!
It was great to have Nick C with us again this evening and he flew out of the blocks, our one hope of keeping up with Mike!! His leg was in good form as well as he finished in close to eight and a half mins per mile! Mike was still untouchable though, even though he finished 10seconds slower than last week (slacking!!) he still averaged an amazing 6m45s over the 6.1mile route!
There was a little group that finished together in the middle of the pack this evening, and it was clear from the sprint finishes that they had motivated and pushed each other all the way round. Firstly, Alistair crossed the finish line in 42m48s, with Sharon 11seconds behind and Carl 1 second further back. Charles and Mandy also pushed each other through the route with Mandy accelerating away just at the end. It was good to see her leg better from last week, well done you two.
Next week we are running the same routes for the last time.
I have been a bit concerned that some people are too dark when running and may not be seen by other runners, bikes and cars. I would recommend all runners wear something to stand out while we are on the roads. I have placed a few suggestions on the New Life Training Shop
For example, these are only £5.99 and would make a great Xmas present!!
