Stadium Newsletter

[Stadium Runners] Newsletter - February 2021
Hi

Welcome to the Stadium Runners Newsletter. We hope to keep you informed about what has happened and what will be happening in the wonderful world of Stadium Runners. Please contact me if it is still being marked as spam for you and I will try and help to resolve the problem.
National Lockdown

During the current national lockdown, training sessions are suspended until further notice.
 
According to the government website:
 
‘You can continue to exercise alone, with one other person or with your household or support bubble?.?  This should be limited to once per day, and you should not travel outside your local area?.? You should maintain ?social distancing?.’
 
So, why not reach out to another member local to you, buddy up and keep each other motivated!
 
Take care and stay safe everyone.

Committee Vacancy - Social Secretary / Social Team
 
A vacancy has arisen for the above role in preparation of the forthcoming AGM.
 
The role of the Social Secretary shall be:
 
1. Responsible for organising social events throughout the year for the benefit of paid-up club members such as co-ordinating away runs or other social events.
 
2. To arrange and plan the annual Awards evening involving sourcing the venue, ticket sales and trophies.
 
Attendance is not essential at committee meetings, although useful. The committee meets every 4-6 weeks. This is currently on a Wednesday evening via Zoom, but is subject to change hopefully when Covid restrictions are relaxed.
 
This position could be filled by either an individual or perhaps a small team to spread the workload. 
 
If this is a position which you would be interested in, please speak to us or your Chair, Rob Buchanan.

For more homework ideas throughout the next period of lockdown, or to give your running something different to think about over the next few weeks if you are lacking a bit of self motivation, then have a browse of my YouTube channel. It has dozens of free workouts that don't require any kit at all and will get you stronger and more robust to get through this winter spell, as well as being some indoor exercise for when the weather is pants.

Search the playlists to revisit the Grassroots sessions, Building Blocks, HIIT circuits as well as the Stadium Runners Stretching work we did last summer too.

For more specific workout ideas then please feel free to get in touch also.

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
