Spa Striders Running Club - Gloucester 20 Miles 07/03/2010

With only five weeks to go for the Paris Marathon, 4 Striders decided to give their race pace a test at Gloucester. A glorious sunny day, in perfect running conditions, saw all four achieve their goals, with two PB's and another club record.

It was a brand new course, with 3 laps, that promised a fairly flat fast race - but failed to deliver! There were two hills that had to be negotiatied three times!... Also, my Garmin showed the length as 20.27 miles.

Nevertheless all the hard marathon training is paying off with some great times: Lucy Burnett 2.38 PB......................John McNally 2.38............ Helen Tudge 2.57 PB and another Club Record......................... Pete Schofield 2.57

Look out Paris, here we come..........
