This week's Strider needs no introduction to anyone who's ever finished a session and found doughnuts waiting... say hello to our resident Doughnut Dasher, Dean! 🍩

🔹 How long have you been a Strider?
Hi, I'm Dean Stenning and I've been with the Striders for nearly three years now.

🔹 What got you into running?
I'd love to say it was to get fit and meet people, but honestly, it started with a petrol strike... it's a long story 🙈🤣

🔹 Favourite thing about the club?
Can I say the pub after a run? 😉 But seriously, it's the people and the structure. There's always something going on, whether it's a social run or a proper intense interval session.

🔹 Best running memory or achievement?
Honestly, every session and race adds another memory. But running the London Marathon has to be the big one, something I never thought I'd achieve. Goes to show what you can do when you put your mind to it.

🔹 Go-to post-run snack?
I know I'll get shot down for this one, but it has to be a full English breakfast.

🔹 Advice for someone thinking of joining?
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned runner, Sutton Striders will help you hit your goals, and more importantly, make some great friends along the way.

Thanks Dean! 💙💛 And yes, we all know why we're really glad you joined 🍩 Know a Strider we should feature next? Drop a name in the comments.

🏃 MAD MILES – DONE FOR ANOTHER YEAR

One-mile heats round the track, grouped by pace, with a proper party atmosphere at the finish line. That's Night of the Mad Miles, and Sutton Striders turned out 20 strong last week.

There's no hiding on the track over a mile. It's a real speed test, and a first taste of track racing for a few of us.

Well done to: Steven, Fiona, Joanne, Charlotte, Alice, Kevan, Debbie, Dean, Bryn, Jenny, Natalie, Ruth, Gwenaël, Mickey, Thomas, Paul, Steve, Stephen, Mark and Ben.

Meet the Strider is back! 👟

Get to know the people behind the club, one Strider at a time. Whether you've been running with us for years or you're a prospective member wondering if Sutton Striders is for you, hopefully you'll see a bit of yourself in these stories.

First up: Kirsty! 🏃‍♀️

🔹 How long have you been a Strider?
About 1.5 years!

🔹 What got you into running?
I started 6 years ago after being gifted a Fitbit. After a few weeks of trying to hit 10,000 steps a day, I figured running was a faster way to get the steps in.

🔹 Favourite thing about the club?
The people! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, and it's been great to make friends in the area after moving here 2 years ago. It's also a lot easier to motivate yourself to go for a run if you know you won't be alone, especially for the interval or tempo sessions.

🔹 Best running memory or achievement?
Finishing the Race to the Stones 50k last year. I signed up to celebrate turning 30, and before that training block I'd only ever run up to half marathon distance. I trained for about 7 months, PB'd in the 10k and half marathon, and got to plan most of my long runs to finish at bakeries!

🔹 Go-to post-run snack?
I love a cookie 🍪 I may or may not always check the M&S at Sutton Station after the Monday social runs to see if any cookies have been reduced 🤭

🔹 Advice for someone thinking of joining?
10/10 would recommend, you'll get a lot out of it and improve if you are consistent and come to sessions regularly.

Thanks Kirsty! 💙💛 Know a Strider we should feature next? Drop a name in the comments.

Last week a Sunday long run and brunch was kindly organised by Dean and Diego! A great turnout and lovely opportunity for the Striders to make the most of the summer weather ☀️

Great work from Karen on Saturday, smashing out a speedy half marathon in the heat! We hope your marathon training is going well 🤞🏼

If Sunday long run + brunch after a hard week of training sounds tempting…we are a DM away 👀
