Newsletter Lite

Thanks to this weekend’s up and coming Thunder Run the newsletter will be delayed one week – but I thought a ‘lite’ edition would be good if only to keep you all updated about a couple of things!

It used to be that there were not many ‘race’ events in the Summer months but there seems to be a never ending stream of them, and it’s hard to keep up with who is doing what, where and when.

Please keep posting your updates on Facebook / Social Media – we love to see where you are and any future race event recommendations.

Those of you who have been to the club nights in the last couple of weeks will have experienced the slightly changed schedule – whereby we are providing more ‘structured’ training runs.

You can see the planned schedule on the website:

The schedule will be updated periodically with additional social runs where we have run leaders available, so please keep an eye on the website…and if in doubt ask.

John and Adrian take on Bonnie Prince Charlie

John and Adrian are going to on a pub crawl along Bonnie Prince Charlie route from Ashbourne to Mickleover on Saturday Sept 8 – about 13 miles.

Adrian wants to do this ‘Because I’ve only run 10K distances for about the last two years, we shall be talking it easy and after carrying out a full health and safety assessment have decided that due to the abnormal weather conditions, several drinks stations will be required along the route for frequent rehydration.

These are likely to coincide with The shoulder of Mutton (Osmaston), The Saracen’s Head (Shirley), The Cow (Dalbury Lees) and The Great Northern (Mickleover).

If anyone would like to join us on the run you are more than welcome’. Just let either John or Adrian know via Facebook or have a chat at a club run.

Brooksie’s Bash

Tracey Griffiths, Jo Shakespeare and myself took part on this 10mile off road event.

Small, but very enjoyable event, fantastic countryside and very different from the hard push that a lot of the road races seem to be.
