| Thu 7th Sep, Stadium Blind Trial |
|
For the Blind Time Trial run you must leave your watch behind! Your route is 5 miles on the canal. You can run this as quickly or as steadily as you wish. Before the run starts, you will submit your prediction on how long it will take you to complete the route. The runner isn't the quickest person to complete the course, but the person who completes it in the time closest to their prediction, with no watch to rely on! And don't worry, you can do a manual upload to Strava!

In parkrun, if you don't have your Club set to Stadium Runners - and why wouldn't you? - then your chances of your results appearing in this section are much reduced. You can amend this by editing the Groups option in your parkrun profile.

Run Leader Rota
The latest Rota for Oct - Dec is available here.
The following events have been arranged for your delight this quarter:
- Saul’s Orienteering Event on 26th October
- Halloween Run on 30th October
- Lunar Relay on 23rd November
- Christmas Run 21st December
We are having issues filling the Gold Leader spot on Mondays when Simon Courtney is running one of his increasingly popular Development sessions. Also many usual Gold runners prefer to attend the Development sessions, so Gold attendance is usually low. So we have taken the decision to cancel the Gold runs when this situation occurs.
We want to stress that the Development sessions are suitable for all Bronze, Silver & Gold runners, it's just that the knock on effects of its popularity are only affecting Gold runs (at the moment).

Orienteering Event with Saul Muldoon - Thursday 26th October
Many of you will know Saul! Saul set up Stadium Runners, managing the club for many years. He ran some great events for the club, and he has kindly offered to come and host an orienteering style event for us on Thursday 26th October.
Saul is keeping the details under wraps so it will be a surprise for us all! What we do know is -
- The event will take place at our normal training time of 6:30pm at the Stadium
- You will be paired up for the event. We will pair you up in advance of the event, so we do ask that you book on before the day.
- Please book via the following link - https://groups.runtogether.co.uk/StadiumRunnerss/BookClass/0b5218be-954f-4322-8d7d-7929429ee2b7
- Saul will need a contact telephone number to include you in a Whats App group to communicate important information on the night. We can obtain this from the Run Together booking (please contact Ashleigh to discuss any issues). The Whats App group will be deleted after the event.
- There will be an opportunity to share the results after the run in the Studio
So please get yourselves booked on to this mystery orienteering event....

| Simon's Stadium Runners Development Sessions
Mondays, usually at Leeds Road Track -
Oct 9th, 16th (Martin Wright to lead) and 30th
Nov 13th and 27th
Dec 4th (Martin Wright to lead) and 18th
Jan 15th and 29th
Free for members - book via Runtogether Stadium Runners Development Sessions (free)
Simon's Strength & Conditioning for Runners
The venue is Studio 1 at the Stadium Health and Fitness Club, this is the room just to the left of reception on the ground floor, where the Stadium Runners do their pre run briefing .
The sessions are on Mondays, at 6.45pm - straight after the briefing for the Stadium Runners club run.
The future date's so far agreed with the Health Club are;
Oct 2nd and 23rd
Nov 6th and 30th
Dec 11th
Jan 8th and 22nd
(These dates are on the alternate weeks to the track sessions at Leeds Rd for the Runners Development Sessions).
The sessions are available and suitable for anyone and everyone. We won't have access to quite the full array of equipment that we ended up using at HD1 Fitness, but we will continue to challenge you to be a more durable, robust and resilient athlete ready to handle your running volume and intensity as well as recover better.
The sessions will continue to be £5, with preferred payment via the details below or cash on the night. Please let me know if you intend to come from week to week, as before I will send a reminder message out a day or so before for confirmation of attendees.
£5 per session
Both sessions are still nice and busy – track is usually high 20s and S & C is low 20s with the majority of them being our runners and some from ‘other’ clubs.
