Post-marathon madness mellow

After marathon madness last weekend, it was a bit more relaxed today, with Deal Tri members, in various groups, running out along the coast and around local lanes.

The Magnificent 7 of Kim, Lee, Andy, Nic, Dave, Stuart and Katie had a social run round what could be a tour of castles, taking in Deal seafront, out to Sandown, along to Sholden (no castle but nice and flat!), and back round to Walmer.

James Wisbey ran in St Margaret’s today, setting a Strava (running app) course record on a route that looked like the Himalayas with the ups and downs!

A smaller group with Lorraine, Nikki (proud wearer of London Marathon Finisher tshirt yesterday!), Tina and Yvonne tackled the lanes, finding it cooler today, which is sometimes appreciated. Jenny and Lisa stepped out too, a leg stretcher for them both after recent long distance events, with Lisa recovering well from her London Marathon personal best time just a week ago. Nigel Lambourn, also a marathon finisher last week, found his way round a blowy route around Minster, Thanet.

There’s also been some multi terrain training going on ahead of a challenging (but fun) social run next week, across the cliffs from Folkestone to Hacklinge.

Remember to keep an eye out for details of our Thursday evening social runs – always 7pm start, meet point may change to allow some variety and interest (alpacas not always available!).
