Happy Marches everyone!
As we approach the summer solstice, this update is mostly about the standings in the club championship.
Before we get into that - a quick note regarding the BEGINNERS track training session at Craigswood next Tuesday (21st Jun) from 6pm - 7pm. This is for anyone aged 14 plus (or 11-13 with a responsible adult) of any running level or experience level who is NEW to running on track or wants a refresher. Head coach Frances will give you the basics on track running benefits and etiquette then participants can choose from an easy, social run; a short reps session of 2 x (3x400)=2400m; or joining in the ‘broken eights’ main session – 3x(5mins@5k, 3mins@3k) [90 secs,3mins].
