Subject: V S Mini-Update - regarding 5/6/7 June
Just a quick update as I suspect some
of you may be sneaking off early today …

and food at 8:15-8:30pm
1) Kathy’s 6pm session and Holly’s 7pm
session have been merged and will take place at 7pm and led by Holly & Bob
(session suitable for all). Everyone welcome, including juniors and
newcomers – please invite your running friends who normally have other
commitments on working Tuesdays.
2) Simon’s monthly fell session at 7pm
from Leo’s, led by Dan. This will be a speed/interval session through the
woods near Leos using some of the Meanwood Valley Trail route.
3) Club speed session at 7pm from Leo’s,
jogging up to Eccup Res for 3 by 10 minutes.
4) Followed by lasagne at 8:15-8:30pm –
you must book in advance - please book to [email protected] by 10pm Sunday 3rd saying
whether you want meat or veggie lasagne (£3) and whether you want apple pie
& ice cream (£1.50). Food available for non-runners too!
Wednesday 6 June – 7:30pm Otley Chevin
Fell Race http://www.fellrunner.org.uk/races.php?id=1855 – V S Fell Championships
Thursday 7 June – note change of
training venue - 6:45pm “Max’s Run” - the Scott Hall session will
instead run from Oakwood Clock to run a 2 mile lap of Max Jones’s training
route (he would have been 85 on 3 June) and then probably a lap of Roundhay
Park (optional). Max ran road, track and cross country at Cambridge
University at the same time as Roger Bannister and Chris Brasher, then gave up
running to take up football refereeing. He returned to running for the
first London Marathon in 1981 and was one of only 40 to run the first 21 London
marathons. He then took up ultra running, running races 50km and above
and also 24 hour races, and set many world and British age group records,
including 192km (118miles) in 24 hours as a 70 year old. Because of
eyesight problems, most of his training was on a 2 mile route from Oakwood
Clock which had few road intersections – sometimes doing 10 laps - and it is
this route we’ll run on 7 June - we’ll just do one lap. Everyone welcome.

Normal V S Update service will be
resumed next week
Have a great holiday and hope to see
many of you on Tuesday and/or Thursday (but definitely not Wednesday for me!)
