Our RunBuddies Roundup πŸŽ‰

Celebrating our amazing runners achievements this week.

Club run was a regular for some and a new route for many.
It was another πŸ”₯ hot one so tbe decision to stay close to the coast was greatly welcomed.
With lots to see en route from pretty country lanes, a Church tucked away, harvesting in full swing, wild flowers on footpaths and tbe beach 🏝️our runners paced well and enjoyed the countryside at its best.
Some even had time to sit, relax and refresh πŸ˜„.

A huge well done to Ali who completed her 100th parkrun!
She had lots of support from fellow buddies but also her brother Graham who was the Run Director and her son Michael who superbly paced her.
What an achievement πŸŽ‰πŸ€©

Congratulations also to Craig who knocked 3 minutes off his parkrun best. Well done on your PB Craig.πŸ‘ πŸ‘Š

Nina and Michael were parkrun tourists enjoying Dublin and Holbrook this week. Well done to you both. πŸ‘πŸ‘

Congratulations and well done to Brigitte who smashed the Snetterton 10km event in boiling πŸ₯΅ conditions!πŸ€©πŸ‘

Plus many runners have buddied up continuing training for their upcoming events or just to run, chat and enjoy the countryside and a coffee afterwards! 😊

We have a little challenge for August about to be revealed to our runners! It’s our 8th year so 8 plays a key role in the challenge!

Some of our runners are training for a virtual half marathon. For most this will be the furthest they have run. Their dedication in training at 6.30am is admirable and they are well on track for their end of August Event.

Let’s Round Up RunBuddies week!

It’s been another warm one so we thought best to head to the beach 🌊 for Tuesday club run.
It was perfect πŸ‘Œ. A refreshing breeze, solid sand and the peaceful sound of the sea gave us great conditions for a fab 5km. 🀩

Lora and Tim headed to Thetford Forest Friday evening where they took part in the Wibbly Wobbly 5 mile log jog! It was super πŸ”₯ hot but they smashed it! Well done both of you. πŸ‘πŸŽ‰ πŸ…

The RunBuddies Roundup!
Phew it’s been a hot week for running! πŸ”₯

They have been out and about running from Blakeney, Blickling, How Hill and close to home a hot 5km from the Victory plus some cooler coastal routes.

Adapting to the extreme heat we altered pacing, took on more fluids and sought lots of shade.

Many of our runners were looking forward to taking part in the North Walsham Epic 5km but were pleased the decision to postpone to August was announced.
More time to train πŸ˜„

Here’s our week in pictures πŸ“· 😊

RunBuddies weekly Roundup!

We started our running week with a hot and humid 6km Tuesday evening. The heat did not deter our runners and although the temperature was scorching we ran through the heath at Skeyton into Felmingham and back along a shady Weavers Way.

Some of our buddies have been hill training this week, marathon training and Tim took on one of the hardest park runs- Great Yarmouth a mix of shingle and soft sand!!

Shay doubled up Saturday marshalling and running a 7 mile stretch of the Solstice Relay!

Runners have buddied up this week going out and enjoying routes around our stunning coastline and villages.

We persuaded a few to set there alarm ⏰ clocks for an early swim to celebrate Summer Solstice.
Although the sun wasn’t visible as it rose over the sea we still enjoyed swimming and a cuppa on the beach afterwards and all before 5am!

What a fabulous community we have, the kind of club that make you look forward to the next run.
Well done everyone πŸ‘ 🀩
