THE GONE RUNNERS NIGHT AT THE RACES! 6th April 2023

We take our running seriously, but we also take our fun seriously too and last night was our first return to "Happy Wednesday" since the restrictions were lifted.

We did this Pre-Covid and how wonderful to be able to do it again.

The horse knowledge on show was incredible. Everyone an expert! 😆 In the end we kept picking the brown one!! The going was "good to yielding" by the end of the evening but I blame the beer not the torrential downpour! 🌨️

Thankyou to the Hong Kong Jockey Club for organizing this for us, Vikki Lam in particular!. It was a great evening indeed!

If you want to get involved with the club and join all of our running and social activities we have a special deal for new joiners until the end of April. $100 hkd off the annual membership. ⁠
⁠
Go to bit.ly/JoinTheGRs, select "Annual Membership" go to check out and pay and apply the discount code: GRRACES2023 and get your $100 hkd OFF.

Have a great Easter holiday!!!

THE GONE RUNNERS SATURDAY SUMMER LEAGUE IS BACK!

Your motivation to run each Saturday right through the heat of the summer. In fact the hotter and more humid, the better.

Each Saturday we head out on either the 10k route, or the 5k route, or maybe both.

Your fastest time on the route during the summer season serves as your base time. Added to this you get points for effort.

You get a point for turning up. The more humid, the more points. The hotter, the more points, if its raining, more points, Amber, Black crazy points, T1, T3, T8, T10 well you understand!.

Age and gender graded the person(s) with the most points at the end of the summer (end of September) is awarded The Golden Boot.

You have to record your run each Saturday on the GR Saturday Run segment on Strava, it can be later in the day if you like, but the group run starts at 8.30am, WanchaI Gap Park.

Results are posted on the Google Sheet HERE

After 3 months of focused training the big day is finally here. Its been a great experience in the club seeing people get fitter, get enthusiastic, get excited (and just a bit nervous!).

Well all that left to do now is to enjoy the experience.

Whether you are doing the 10k, the Half of the Full Marathon, be it casing a place, a PB, of just getting to the end , we wish you all the best of luck.

It is so wonderful to see real racing back again and to get 37,000 people out on the streets of Hong Kong will be a wonderful sight after so long.

The camaraderie in the Gone Runners has been magnificent and we will be cheering everyone on throughout the morning.

But is doesn't stop here, beyond the Stan Chart we will be continuing training. Many people will be shifting gears to mid year races in Europe both trail and Road and we will be there to support you.

SUCH A VERY SAD DAY.

We learnt this morning during our Saturday Run of the very sad passing of GR Fredelyn Alberto early this morning. Her fight over the last few years has been such an inspiration and she has brought so much to our community. Her enthusiasm, her commitment to running and her uncrushable smile means she is very sadly missed.

Our hearts go out to Mark and Isabella and all of their close family and friends. From everyone at Gone Running and The Gone Runners, please accept our deepest condolences.

We had already planned our regular Chicken Chase next Saturday, which Fredy won back in 2020 on September 26th so we will dedicate the run to her.

RIP Fredy!

GR TRACK SESSION 23rd August - Pace yourselves!

When it is as hot as this its easy to go off like a scalded rabbit and wilt like cooked spinach at the end of the session. Its also important to respect the recovery times. Shortening them to keep up with the group is almost invariably counter productive.... get your sustainable pace and deliver a great session.

We have a beauty this week, 5 x 800s, the 8 x 200s ...... sound easy?... 😉... we will see ..... Kowloon Bay in the morning, and morning and evening sessions at Aberdeen track are available.

Grind out the session and follow it up with a cool beer and some delicious Thai food!.

See you there....
