Tuesday night training
Jog leader Bex took the group along to Scoonie Golf Course area in Leven for a pyramids drill. Great to see a large turnout and lots of effort from all involved.
Weekend event roundup
On a bloody freezing Saturday morning amid snow blizzards only a few hardy LLV members attended parkruns. Full marks to Robin Pate who overcame the Arctic conditions and managed to set a new PB at the North Inch in Perth.
The Alloa Half Marathon on Sunday morning was set to be a fantastic LLV day out with 25 members on the start list of over 3000. However the weather intervened and the event was cancelled with a new date hopefully to be announced.
The Errol 10k on Sunday afternoon also fell foul of the weather.
Two LLV members did manage to get a competitive run on Sunday morning, although they had to go abroad to do so.
Ruth Cruickshank travelled to Utrecht in the Netherlands to take part in the city’s half marathon. Ruth posted a time of 2h23m.
And Carole Mowbray jetted off to Tenerife to run in the Fuentealta Vilaflor Trail Marathon on the slopes of Pico del Teide. Carole finished as first vet female and third female overall, a fantastic achievement.
