*Long* - a 7.8km trot to sandy path that way round, via the folly, led by the fabulous in our own way duo of Myself (Stu) and Jason - https://www.plotaroute.com/route/3332257

Gather as per usual by the Library for a 6:30 start, please sign up on app or website beforehand if possible - https://clubspark.englandathletics.org/RunTogether/FarRunners

Post run reflection, ponderation and philosophical debate in the Swan

P.S. While it has cooled down nicely, it's still deceptively hot out there, so recommend making sure you have water

We run two sessions on a Tuesday, same start time and place, but you can choose between the 'Long Route' (usually 8-10km) or the 'Short Route' (5-8km). The routes can be anything from pavements and tarmac (around town) to trails and cross-country. You can be guartanteed that being in Faringdon, th...

Afternoon all,

On this glorious bank holiday weekend we have 3 delightful runs for your consideration:

Short is 7.2km with all kinds of Coxwells, led by Tom - https://www.plotaroute.com/route/3322775

Medium is 10.8km of glorious trail, that looks a bit like a bat if you squint, led by Stu - https://www.plotaroute.com/route/3322907

Long is 12.4km of sandy path goodness via the pl***oy barn, led by Simon - https://www.plotaroute.com/route/3322714

The Far Runners go green-er!

Last night saw the inaugural meeting of the 🌱 Green Far Runners 🪴 at . We had a fabulous turnout of enthusiastic runners who really care about taking action & helping Far Runners become more conscious of its impact both as a run club, but also as individuals.

The good news is there’s loads we can do, both individually and together to make a change (more to follow!). We talked about imperfect action and the human tendency to hold off doing anything until it’s ‘just right’…the time to act is now, imperfectly but with all the good intentions.

Using the .green.runners 4 pillars of
* How we MOVE
* How we FUEL
* How we KIT-UP
* How we SPEAK OUT
we discussed ideas and approaches to change behaviours and attitudes. We have so many things to put into action, started with a curated resource of links and information on our website so YOU can start to make small and sustainable changes to your running behaviours. This will become the green hub that we’ll build on as we learn and grow.

A massive THANK YOU to all those that supported us, and attended the pre-meetup run session with an theme (send us a pic when your seed bombs bloom…no euphemism intended 🤣💚).

You’ll be hearing much more from us in the coming weeks, but till then, drop us a line if you want to get involved - and join our club WhatsApp group by sending us a DM.

Well done Far Runners, what a great start 🌈
