This week's runs - 8th and 9th November

Many congratulations to the 6 fabulous beginners who are beginners no more! They completed 30 minutes of continuous running - a great achievement and I'm extremely impressed. We're keeping the Tuesday 8pm slot going for a couple of weeks though to get to 5km before graduating to one of the Improvers' sessions. Don't panic if you missed the 30 minute session - we'll take things gently!

To mark their graduation, I'm proposing that as many of us as possible (all groups!) aim to make it to parkrun on Saturday 11th December. This is a weekly, free 5km event at 9am at Lakeside. You'll be finished in time to continue Christmas shopping.

Anyway, this week's runs:

Monday 7pm 6.56km in 42:12 540 calories

Monday 8pm 6.50km in 41:45 533 calories

Tuesday 7pm 6.56km in 44:36 543 calories

Tuesday 8pm 3.6km in 30:38 211 calories

Next week, the former beginners will be doing a 4.5km flat route.
