Today saw 14 runners, set off from the Viaduct in Bollington for a D group "taster" session. The purpose of this run is to provide the opportunity for the runners in E group to join regular D runners and experience a D run on a flatter and faster route.
As D group guidelines are running between 8.5 to 10 minute miles for between 4 and 6 miles, our route took in the Middlewood Way to Wood Lane Ends and then back up via the canal with options for all runners to exit back to the start point.
The day was mainly dry, with an April shower toward the end, which was a blessing for some hardworking runners. Everyone did really well, with only a couple of "breather breaks" and plenty of looping for those faster runners, where possible. Check your watches and apps guys, I'm sure your splits will surprise and delight you !
The route ( with looping ) was just over 6 miles and shorter for those who did not loop or who left the canal earlier. Welcome distractions included, mandarin ducks, heron followers and a couple of hairy moo's!
All in all a really great run, really impressed with the effort and tenacity of all the runners.
Well done
Dawn and Mel
