V S Update - 24 February 2017 - Juniors Training &
Peco
This email is only
being sent to parents of juniors, including juniors on the waiting list.
Please note change
of "eligibility" for training on 28 February and 7 March.
Extra
Training Session Sunday 26 February
*** This session is open to all juniors, including
juniors on the waiting list ***
Meet 09:30 in car
park by Lakeside Cafe.
Juniors are
recommended (a) not to run junior parkrun (and possibly instead volunteer as a
marshal) or (b) just jog round as a steady warm up for the training
session. We reserve the right to exclude
juniors from doing the training session who have over-exerted themselves at the
parkrun.
There will be two
groups, both doing a lap of the lake, the faster group doing a couple of loops
for extra distance. Within each group,
we will have frequent stops for the slower runners to catch up, and faster
runners are encouraged to jog back to pick up the slower runners.
We'll have some
Bob's relay races to finish the session.
We would be very
pleased if as many parents as possible come and join in the session. The slower group will be going at a very
steady pace!
Full
Training Tuesday 28 February (Change of Plan)
6pm - Juniors and Beginners/Improvers from Far Moss. We will be running 3 junior groups as normal
(change of plan). This is open to all juniors except those on waiting
list.
