A sunny evening saw nearly 100 runners and walkers take part.
Results are below – looking forward to seeing how many can improve their times over the next 4 weeks.
A couple of tips on how to achieve an improvement:
- Warm-up – so do about 10 minutes of easy jogging (of rapid walking). Build up a light sweat 5 minutes before race time and you will be pleasantly surprised how much difference it makes
- Run a couple of other times during the week
- One of those runs should be about 50% more time on your feet than the Fives. For example, lets say you did 26 minutes, then aim to do a run of 39-40 minutes say on Sunday
- Another run that’s 25% longer – so on Tuesday in the above 26 min runner, they might aim to be on their feet for 30-33 minutes
- And the same goes for walker – you can’t beat time on your feet to bring on the fitness. 2-3 times per week will benefit in so many ways.
