Went out last night with the North Wales Road Runners on their weekly Tuesday training session. We meet every Tuesday evening at 6-45 for a prompt 7pm start. The good thing about them is that they are so friendly and everyone is welcomed and encouraged. I started running with 'Pie' and spent the 1st two miles trying to keep up with him only for him to turn around and then tell me he'd give his all and that I should continue. It was as much as I could to keep up with him! Then I decided to catch Ron (Elliott) and managed to reel him in at about a mile to go. He then ran alongside to say the same thing as Pie and gave me some welcome advice about sprinting for the last 400Mt's. It nearly killed me but I felt great afterwards!
Today saw me taking on board what Ron had said the night before, so I made my way down onto Colwyn Bay prom' to do some fartlek training. It was very strange and I worked harder than I thought I would but I could see how it would benefit me on a race. I am pleased that I have started, because now I understand where I can gain the extra seconds that make all the difference.....Sorry about the piccie but Ive none of training nights so a Welsh vest looks nice....'Cymru Am Byth''!
