Saturday 27th April - Bollin Valley

We were fortunate to have some kind weather with a few splatters of rain and we had a good turn out of 12 runners plus 1 en-route.  Congratulations to Fiona on her pregnancy, it was lovely to see her smiley face who is blossoming at 15 weeks. 

The Start (posing?)

We had a good warm up session followed by a hill training session and some fartlek training, whilst we remembered the advice of Bashir 'flat feet'.   After this session which added more colour to our checks (or should I say their cheeks) we commenced the lollipop run for the Long Run Group (6 runners) and I ran a shorter group excluding the pop.  The long distant group soon caught up and they were given additional running of longer loop backs and a hill run to finish off.

There was excellent running in the long distance group with some excellent loop backs. Whilst the short distance group did some great running with quick recovery walk breaks. 

As a team we worked very well, I feel very privileged to have your trust and Neil's to take you out for your morning run.   12 months ago I put on my new trainers and took to c25k little did I think I would running 5/10k races let alone helping you with your running dream.  

Well done and thank you.

Keep on running.
