WYWL 1 - Baildon Runners
For the first cross country race in ages, the weather gods decided that there would be no rain, but sent us a howling gale just to make things interesting up on the moors at Baildon. Super fun was had by all, perhaps even Luc Burnip & Tom Howarth who arrived late and started from the back.

Club Support Fund Application
The club is going to apply for UKA funding with the aim of encouraging the return of existing members to training nights as well as attracting new members.
We are looking to relaunch the successful ‘Give running a go’ sessions but our plan is to have them led by UKA qualified coaches as opposed to relying entirely on our run leaders.
If there are any of our members who have this coaching qualification, or if any of you know of anyone who has and would be interested, could you please contact me.

| Bronze, Silver & Gold Groups |
|
Places on our runs are currently limited to 24 plus Run Leader(s).
In the meantime, we wanted to refresh everyone's memory on the structure and pace of our Bronze, Silver and Gold groups, just to make sure everyone is able to run with the most suitable group for them each week.
Bronze - The Bronze group typically covers around 5-6.5 miles at roughly a 10-12 minute mile pace. Our Bronze group currently has a Run Leader and Run Assist. This will allow us to offer a split, if required.
Silver - The Silver group usually covers between 6 and 8 miles. The pace of this group is around 8 - 10 minute miles dependant on the route, which is likely to involve more elevation. The Silvers currently have a Run Leader and Run Assist. This will allow us to offer a split, if required.
Gold - The Gold group tends to cover a minimum of 8 miles, often running up to 10 miles. The routes are slightly more challenging and will be covered at around 8 minute miles, although this is subject to the route plan and elevation. The Gold group has a Run Leader and does not have a Run Assist.
With all of our groups, we run back, meaning no one ever gets left behind. A regroup point will be given by the Run Leader and the quicker runners will always loop back for those at a steadier pace. So, if you feel ready to change your group and up your pace, you can be assured that you will be well looked after!
We know that there isn't one particular group that will fit each runner all the time, and encourage all runners to run in the group most appropriate to their current level of fitness and ability. If you are unsure which group is the right one for you, then please do drop us a message or chat to a Run Leader and we'll point you in the right direction!
Thank you
Ashleigh

Stadium @ Storthes Hall
We’ve had our race license to host our cross country race at Storthes Hall approved, so we are now asking for help marshalling the event. Unfortunately The Venue at Storthes Hall will not be open for our event due to changes in opening times - all car parking will be within the old Storthes Hall site (I think this makes things easier). We will be providing portaloo’s and possibly a burger van.
Tree felling is due to commence again at the top part of the woods but a rough map of the route is below: |
|
In total we require around 40 marshals which includes car parking and the route itself. We would like to see as many Stadium Runners running as possible so please feel free to contact friends and family to help out.
To volunteer please send a reply to wywl@stadiumrunners.co.uk. In a few weeks we will have marshal points finalized.
Finally, Stadium bakers will be out in force to say a big thank you to any volunteers!
Thanks
Tom

Charitable Donation
Stadium Runners has made a donation of £100 to Holme Valley Mountain Rescue following Matt's 5 Mile Challenge back in September. The Club topped up the entry fees received from the event.

Rockhopper Running
We are launching Rockhopper Tuesday, Hills & Speed sessions. This will start on the first Tuesday in January (4th) for 13 weeks.
This session will be one hour from 6.30 until 7.30 pm, the session will be focused on hills and speed techniques. This will be hard work but very rewarding for strength & fitness, the sessions will go hand in hand with the Winter X country series. This will add a great boost to the training plan, building the fitness level up through the winter, so in spring you will be great shape.
If you are interested please contact 07563 944162.
Cheers
Martin.

Trial Stadium Running
Have you got a running friend who hasn't yet experienced the delights of Stadium Runners?
The good news is if they want to have a couple of trial training runs with the Club, then it can be arranged.
Just send Alison their name & email address to membership@stadiumrunners.co.uk and we will send them the details.

Run Leaders Required
Stadium Runners is always very grateful to all our run leaders, new and not so new. Stadium Runners simply wouldn’t happen without the dedication and commitment of run leaders who regularly give up their time to ensure all the groups stay safe and have a fun and challenging experience. But particularly over the last few months, our run leaders have been fantastic and we owe it to them that the Club has been able to offer safe and enjoyable sessions again.
We are always looking for new run leaders and can offer training, equipment and lots of support. The chance to say “not far now” and “that’s all the hills done” and other well known motivational (but not always true) phrases.
This course is now available as a virtual course. England Athletics have announced a number of dates for a new online Leadership in Running Fitness (LiRF) course, and they plan to release more dates in the future.
If you would like to know more about how to join this amazing team, email Bridget at libramac@me.com or ring me on 07540 434573
