Just wow gang. What can we say right now.

We've got runners smashing their longest runs yet, we've got folk belting out epic marathon training blocks, we've got runners who buddy up with our newer members so they have a friendly face to run with and week on week out you turn up and bring the fun so the miles feel easy (or doable depending on the hills šŸ™ˆ).

Thank you all for being blooming marvelous!

Tomorrow's session is Peel Avenue reps, Sam will be setting off down there at 6.20 for anyone who wants a steadier warm up, Mark will follow with the rest of you at 6.30.

Hello- Mark here

So this week Iā€™d like to deal with the complaint I had last week that the 10k route wasnā€™t hilly enoughā€¦ i think Iā€™ve made up for it this week

Anyway here are your 10k and 10mile options for Sunday.

The 10k has a hill or two and so does the 10miler but itā€™s all good for the legs
Enjoy!!

The back of the 10mile pack will have sweets! Jelly beans and something sour!

Get yourself booked on and join us a good run out

Meeting at 8.30am Holmfield Arms car park.
