| The Start |
Today we met in the Clough Bank car park (Grimshaw Lane, Bollington) at 9.00am.
CLICK HERE on a very cold and frosty morning (note to ourselves - bring gloves and hat!).
The focus this week was 'speed-work' and we did three exercises along the Middlewood Way which soon had everybody working hard and getting the heartrate buzzing. Speed-work will help with your endurance as well as getting you familiar with what running faster feels like (now we can all admire runners like Mo Farrah).
There were some very good turns of speed today (yes, Oliver - that means you as nobody could catch you!) and hard work done by everybody - who would have thought when you all started that you could run for a full minute so fast without keeling over (and then do it again for 45 seconds etc).
In total (including the speed-work) we ran about 3.4 miles (a bit
over 5k). A few of us managed a good chat and coffee at the Waterside
Café afterwards.
