What a hugely successful evening!! A big thanks to Dom and Ruth for devising such a brilliantly fun new club run… and to the many helpers and pacers too.
“…tonight was one of the best run sessions I have ever experienced at the club. It had everything training progression, social contact and club bonding. Best turn out since Covid!”
With temperatures hoving not that far above freezing, about 30 Hart Road Runners took part in the inaugural Club Champions Chase which followed the out-and-back route of the original club handicap.
The basic idea is that everyone sets off at the same time, but split into 6 different pace groups – so you stick with your group pretty much the entire way… until the last hill when you can break off.
The Club champions (this year is Paul and Alexa) then set off 2 mins later and chase down the groups.
The remarkable thing was that everyone finished within 90 seconds!
I think this is going to become a regular feature in the club calendar.
