It’s that time again as we look back on the weeks events…
As the temperature rises we enjoy some warm weather training…
Strength training on the beach – what better way to enjoy the change in climate!
Tempo sessions encouraged everyone to push their limits.
The Planka was the destination for those who headed up the valley.
As much as we have weeks where we are inundated with events this week there was an obvious drought. With many having tested their legs last weekend in Swansea in hot conditions a rest week was always on the cards for a few – and well earned it was.
A period over which to recharge the batteries which was welcomed in the warm weather.
It didn’t stop decent numbers heading for their local parkrun start line. Many also took to start lines dotted around the country. Two targeted the last running of one particular Welsh parkrun as the venue closes its doors resulting in a long journey the length of Wales to take part!
Many completing their 5k on the seafront at Porthcawl met by the entrance to the pavilion to be given their instructions for the inaugural Phoenix 5 event…
6 teams, 5 in a team, started by finding the Welsh Wally. Carpool Karaoke. School sports day. Selfie in a phone box. Ice creams on high while chasing sheep. Scaling the infamous Coronation Street to retrieve their duck!
A fun filled morning of entertainment culminated in returning to base camp at Tondu Rugby Club where the annual BBQ was waiting for them. More milestone t-shirts handed out. Big prize winners of the Phoenix 100 Club were drawn as the current running of it comes to a close.
Music, dancing and impromptu karaoke followed to round of a fun-packed day!
A special occasion indeed as many got to meet the new addition to the Clark family. Lovely little Arthur came along to say hi to his Phoenix family and we all fell in love with the little fella!
Sunday arrived and those who could raise their heads from the pillow took on a favourite club trail run while our improvers did a recce of the Porthcawl 10k route ready for their second graduation next week at the actual event!
Training numbers restored after being affected by last weeks plethora of events culminating in a high turnout at a half marathon.
A definite focus on fun this week! The feel good factor of the sun shining down on us much more than it has in previous weeks. Less races but still the Phoenix continue to band together to share great times.
Spirits are high once again as we move further into the summer.
Keep it up!
