New life Training is a Running Club based in Warsash. We run on a Monday Evening and Friday morning with the annual focus of achieving the Great South Run as a team!! Find out more about the Enjoy Fitness running club
As part of the preparation for the Great South Run a group of runners from New life Training Running Club participated in the Victory 10k in Portsmouth. It is a fairly flat route so good times and speed are often the focus. The weather was perfect if a little warm for the run, but that didn’t effect the runners too much. First to finish for the NLT Runners was Rob, his 46m 47s was a great time and 41st overall in the race! Nick was second, having had trouble with his calf muscles in the week is was great to see Nick finish the race and in such a quick time too, just over 8 mins per mile! That was 35 seconds better than his time on this run 2 years ago! Alistair also beat his previous time on this run and was just outside the 9mins per mile average, Great run Alistair, Well done!!
Sue was next, finishing just 4th in her category and only 30seconds outside of the top 3!!! Just two places behind on the 10k route was Mandy with her first competitive run with New Life Training, and hopefully a few more to come on this performance. Jo was less than a minute behind and clearly needs to train without music to get used to pace setting without the Prodigy helping!!
Lindsey had run 3 times this week already, including 5k yesterday and it may have been a run too far today, but her time was very respectable and a strong finish saw her average 10m 13s per mile. Greg had a great run, pacing himself much better today, he started of slower and sped up through the run. It was the perfect run for Greg and his 10m 30s average was an amazing 4th fastest in his category!!! Well done Greg! Henry unfortunately had a hamstring twinge on route which hindered his time. He still managed 3rd place in his category though, so very respectable.
As always the organisation and marshalls for the run were brilliant and everyone had a great time. Well done team, see you tomorrow for some more running!!
The next 10k race we have scheduled is the Stubbington 10k, last year we missed out as it was fully subscribed. Make sure you book in early now as entries are open, Click HERE to book in!!
