I led the 8 am NISV group. I started from my house to give myself
a warm up and a few extra kilometres. There were nine of us (I think) on the 8
am shorter run today. I chose the Riverfront Ramble as it has options to make
slight adjustments to the distance covered e.g (1) cross the footbridge rather
than town bridge; (2) shorter routes to & from the NISV to the SDR. As it
happens everyone was happy, quite keen in fact to do the longer distance of
10.3 km (Strava trace below).
I forgot to do a head count at the start! However, the
attendees were Jon Kendall, Chris Stevens, Liz Crook, Maria English (newbie?),
Michelle Shapland, Clive the ex-policeman, Me, Ceri Jenkins, and Kate
Parry-Jones. We formed two natural groups with me, Kate & Ceri at the back.
Shappers switched groups a couple of times so she could have a chat to us all.
It was pleasing to note that the lead group did actually
stick together as a group. They ran at an easy conversational pace and nobody
got isolated. There are a couple of Strava traces of the route we took. Mine
includes my warm-up. Chris Stevens is the actual 8am session that we did.
My activity starts with my warm up from the top of Gibbs
Road. I did just over 13km. We regrouped 5 times on our Ramble.
(1)
at the “T” Junction – Traston Road / Corporation
Road
(2)
at the
turning point of the Riverfront parkrun
(3)
At the wave
(4)
On the other side of the river, about three quarters
of the way back down the riverside path
(5)
At the traffic lights to cross the main roads near
Lysachts Institute
A few of these runners may well step up to 10 miles next
week. I think I will as well.
