What a shock to the system the h/cap race was. Not really done any short racing for 20 years, more used to plodding at 7m.p.h. for an hour or so. I did enjoy it but I think I need quite a bit of practice. Need to pace myself better too.
Can you let me know what kind of times you all completed it in. I need to set myself somekind of target so that I can improve for Christmas h/cap. Obviously I won't be aiming to complete as fast as some of you quicker guys/girls but I would be interested to know anyway.
Ive been doin the handicaps since i joined about 19 month ago and they are still a shock to my system too!!!! i didnt time myself accuratly but think i prob did around 20 -22 mins or so, Frank has all the times. Frank, you did use to put the times up?? but havent done this yr , how come???
Hi john. I have not got access to my watch at the moment but i think i was aroune 19 mins. Will confirm though once i have looked. It is all good practise, doin short fast runs make you a faster runner overall. It does make you remember those days at school doing cross country though!

Speedwork will not only make you run faster when required but will also increase the range of movement that you need in your joints it will also help you to run much harder for longer periods when needed . Good running Frank MC
