Two of our runners have been chosen to run the Great South Run this weekend, taking place on Sunday 17th October. The 10 mile run takes place along Portsmouth's coast line and events run across the weekend, with the Great South 5K and the Junior Mini Great South Run happening on the Saturday.
Janice Anderson and Barbara Castle are running the Great South Run on Sunday. They have both run the race before so they know what to expect on the day and what the route is like.
Janice said: "The last two we have done were brilliant and the weather was good too. Been doing some decent training, including club run last night and hill training this morning. I will also try to run on Friday and do Parkrun on Saturday so will be in a good place to enjoy the Great South Run on Sunday."
Barbara is also looking forward to the run: "I have a bit of an ankle injury at the moment so I'm hoping that won't slow me down - it certainly won't stop me! It's all about crossing the finishing line on Sunday rather than beating times. Being part of such a large running club, there's always brilliant support from them. I'm really looking forward to helping Sarah Coleman round too (she is a new LiRF at Medway Fit) who is also an inspiration for me."
Look out for Janice and Barbara (and of course, Sarah!) at the Great South Run on Sunday and give them a cheer! We look forward to reporting how they got on next week.
