CRO running Week 2 (includes details of new “Junior” run) March 5th 2020
Bill Leggate’s 4.55 mile tops the age graded league this week and was only 3 seconds behind timed winner Chris illman. Double thanks to Dr Bill, firstly as a representative of the NHS in these strange and difficult times and secondly for demonstrating to us all that age is no barrier to superb performance. Twenty four club members had a go at running a solo mile this week and the resulting times are a credit to all who managed to push themselves in the absence of any visible competition. As a club of road and cross country runners, triathletes and ultra runners we might all expect to find a mile painfully hard – some will have been pleased then to hear that the man who suggested the distance struggled too!
In addition to the two running sub 5 minutes another six were able to achieve sub 6. Brian Harris (a recent and “not so young” returnee to the club) and Sophie Chudley the first lady were beaten by the consistently strong Aaron Willis, Mark Sysum, Adrian Williams and Ian Barrett. Of the seven who achieved a sub 7 minute mile particular congratulations to Jo Roberts for her age graded 5th place. That she was ranked behind Liza Darroch (2nd) and Ruth Fulford (4th) says more about the numbers of FV70+ running than it does about their actual times. A good run too from Karen Higuera. Finally it was great to see two juniors giving it a go Ollie Sysum ran a fine 8.58 and Millie Chudley’s 7.09 put her 17th in both lists.
Next week the CRO distance is 5 miles – because, in more normal times, many of us would have been running the Highworth 5 as part of the club Road Running Championships. The usual rules apply - it can by any surface and run at any time in the week but you are now being asked to start and finish in the same place. Circuits or ‘there and back’ routes are fine – we simply seek to eliminate an unfair excess of downhill running.
We are also launching a second, shorter distance each week – with Juniors in mind - but open to everyone. So this week you can run either 2km or 5 miles (or both I suppose!) These shorter distances can be run A to B – ie with different start and finish point.
Next week it will be 10km or 1 mile.
