Rob’s weekly blog and training update w/c 01/04/19
Spring Coast 5k on Wednesday 10th April is now full. However, I have a spare number if anyone wants one.
Cheers Duncan – MINIBUS IS FULL
MONDAY 1ST APRIL
LIGHT NIGHTS SO ALL OUTSIDE NOW
Station road time trial. Starting at Lidl end 7.20pm. Athletic Club will open around 6.50pm.
You should be looking for a strong, even paced run after all the good training we have done lately. There are only a few simple rules:
- Run on the left when facing an oncoming runner.
- If you must run on the road (and some do) don’t do it unless you are facing oncoming traffic.
- High – vis vest. Wear one. It’s simple, if you don’t have one then you should only run on a treadmill or run just during the day.
Let’s have a fast and safe time trial.
TURN AROUND POINT IS THE SIGN IN TRAIN STATION CAR PARK NEAR THE STEPS
Make this count as Easter Handicap is set for Wednesday 24th April on the new trail at Sowerby Gateway

Route to be decided on the night, around 5 miles. Please wear high vis if you have it.
