Running Report 28th Feb & 1st March

We did some great running this week - the Beginners are doing really well (thanks to some extra help from Sarah F), Lisa & Fiona did their first 5K run with the group and it was great to welcome back Angela. I only managed to run on Tuesday - my back is pretty much better now though.

On our virtual global challenge, we' re now in Stuttgart, making some real progress down Germany with 160km run this week. Do have a look at our map - it's looking so impressive now!

For those of you doing the Eastleigh 10K, I have 2 extra runs coming up. 9am tomorrow (Saturday) from Fleming Park is aimed at first timers who are working up to the distance & will be very gentle with walk breaks. Thursday at 7pm from Fleming Park is for those who've nailed the distance & want to run the route.

Mon 7pm 7.5km in 48:04mins, 599 cals
