Barrie Roberts reports on some recent races:
I`ve `struggled to get going` with my middle distance running this year ,but I did run a couple of races last weekend in Nottingham and in The Black Country.
Friday 25th August 2017
Tim Wealhall Mile(s) – 1 Mile (track) at Notts AC
Mile 7:12.8 3rd Place (1st in Age Category)
Saturday 26th August 2017
3,000m 14:07.8 8th Place Tipton Harriers Open
With appropriate rest/recovery and training strategies, I anticipate that I will be able to improve on these times! My next middle distance race (1500m) will be in about a week`s time – unless I am advised to the contrary!
Well spotted Tony! Yes,rehydration is very important;especially if one is running in very warm conditions, and running longer mileages than middle distance. Thankyou for your encouragement.
PS. Adam`s Ale (H2O) is an excellent drink ! Hic,Hic,Hic,Hic ——- Hic
Well done Barrie! Good running! Looking at your accompanying picture though, I notice that you take rather more than the customary water bottle with you for rehydration!
