[Stadium Runners] Newsletter - June 2020

View this email in your browser
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.

Covid-19 Update for Members

Based on government advice and guidance from England Athletics, all Stadium Runners activities continue to be suspended until further lockdown restrictions are lifted. At this point we will re-evaluate, taking into account the latest advice and guidance available.

To be clear, suspended activities include:

- Monday and Thursday training nights
- ‘Give Running a Go’ beginners course
- Awards Night
- Annual General Meeting

Take care and we’ll look forward to running together hopefully in the not too distant future.

#Covid Cup 2020 Final results

Last week saw further impressive runs from the four finalists with some notable PB's for Brendan, Simon and Steve, but they weren't quite enough enough to take the Covid Cup from Daniel's grasp!

A big thank you to everyone that took part and hopefully the return to real world racing and donning the stadium vest will be sooner rather than later!

Cheers

Steve and Lucy

Simon's Online Coaching Sessions

Simon Courtney is running online coaching sessions to keep you on your toes during the enforced break from Stadium training. Sessions will be delivered using Zoom, which is a free, multi user, conferencing service.

Join him live at 6:30pm on Mondays for a coaching session.

The link for the session may change on a weekly basis, so it will be emailed out to the mailing list & put on the Stadium Runners Members Facebook Group. A link to a recording of the session will usually be mailed out afterwards.

Catch up on all the previous content and more on Simon's YouTube Channel


Ashleigh's Facebook Challenges
A montage of all the old photos of Stadium Runners submitted to Ashleigh for her spot the Stadium Runner Facebook Challenge. Too good to be forgotten.
Strava

Well, my piece on the wonders of the free Strava package last month clearly drew attention at Strava HQ. No sooner had the metaphorical ink dried, Strava reduced what was available in the free package. It costs £48 a year to get these facilities (and more) back.

In particular, the free package no longer provides access to the Training Log, only limited access to the top 10 runners in each segment and no "matched runs" facility.

Strava used to have several add on extra packages, but as I understand it, there is now only one single paid option that gets you everything.

However, the free option still provides a great means to record your runs and compare the performances of you and other runners. That said, I've signed up for the 60 day free trial of the paid option, with every expectation that I will be coughing up the £48 a year.
