Club night - in a supportive mood!

Not every run is about slamming 5:30 miles through the evening sunshine. Sometimes it's good to sit back and help runners a little earlier on their journey.

Sadly I have no qualifications and haven't got a Scooby Doo how to do that.

I do however, offer myself as a 'Support Coach' if needed on club nights. This basically I means I help, back mark make sure nobody gets lost and the like, As we've been doing more technical sessions, with proper coaches who know what they'r doing, lately I haven't been required, but last night, a coach shortage threw me into business end of things.

As a result I (think I) helped out, helped someone run the furthest they'd ever gone and hopefully made a vaguely positive difference!

The route was:



You can't argue it's a different type of satisfaction to a quick run or a PB. But it's good and a type of rewarding I could get used too.

In other news, following the weekends exploits in Coopers Field have reduced my RunBritain handicap to it's lowest ever value.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not clear on how this works, but I know it's getting better!
