Hi there! I just wanted to give you some feedback on the training runs from this past Tuesday night. Up until this week, all run leaders have been absolutely awesome, pushing us hard, and its a night of the week that I really do look forward to, rain hail or shine. However in comparison I was disappointed with the organisation of the slow and medium 5K of this past Tuesday. There was a huge gap between the back of the medium group and the front of the medium group. So much so that when I arrived at Lexus Centre/Rod Laver Arena there was not a flashing armband in sight. I stood on the corner there for a solid 5 minutes all alone having absolutely no idea where anyone was, or where anyone had gone. After quite a while I finally saw a group of flashing armbands approaching on the other side of the road to where I was standing. I gather we wear these armbands to distinguish Run Melbourne runners from others at night time, however there was no concern from the run leader that I was on the wrong side of the road, or that I was completely alone, which didnt ease my sense of being alone at night in the city. I beleive the slow 5K group got lost quite a few times also, leaving my friend feeling quite unmotivated. The night was quite a dampener, and I left feeling pretty flat and annoyed, not motivated, energised and on an endorphin high like usual! Up until now Tuesday night runs have been awesome fun, the trainers are usually very motivating which is great, and we leave feeling like weve knocked the run out of the park. Hopefully you can take some of this feedback into consideration so we can leave next Tuesday night feeling like Steve Monaghetti! Cheers.
