Saturday 26th April - Middlewood speed & hill work

The Start
Wow - we were lucky with the weather today - it was pouring down at 7.00am but by 9.00am when we warmed up it was fine and sunny!

21 runners out today including two new runners (Catharine & Roxanne). The session was a hard one for a first session but everyone was supportive and we ended the session with the same number that we started with - always a bonus. So, a speed pyramid, a paced 1000m and some hill work - good effort.

Coffee/tea/teacakes afterwards were well deserved.
