GDPR
By now I'm sure you're all fed up of GDPR, so
we are keeping it simple
There will be three sets of emails going out
tomorrow all of which will explain what data we hold, how we use it, and how
you can contact us to ask us more:
- to current (paid) club members including parents of junior members - if you
do nothing you will continue to receive emails - you will need to opt out to
discontinue but we prefer to keep you in otherwise we have no regular method of
contact
- to adult prospective members - you will need to opt in to continue receiving
emails, if you don't reply we will assume you no longer are considering joining,
we will remove you from our distribution list, and also, if you are a member of
the VSAC Members Facebook Group, we will remove you from that too
- to parents of junior prospective members (waiting list) - you will need to
opt in to continue receiving emails, if you don't reply we will assume you no
longer wish to be on the waiting list and we will remove you from our
distribution list
Note that in future, new prospective members
will be given a link to our data privacy policy on our website.
Training
Tue 29 May - 6pm sessions at GSAL, 7pm session
from Leos
Tue 5 June - all sessions from Leos (including navigation session,
see below), and food afterwards (pie and peas, see website to order)
Tue 12 June - 6pm sessions at GSAL, 7pm session at Beckett Park
Thursday training - see Facebook posts (NB the Scott Hall group has been on
tour recently so don't turn up there without checking!)
Thank
you (our junior races)
We had 113 runners in our junior races
(results later on in this V S Update), 3 more than when we organised a similar
event 2 years ago.
A big thank you to the 65 people who helped -
35 parents, 1 (injured) junior member, 22 senior club members and 7 of our
regular club volunteers.
I'm hoping that some of us who were involved
can have a brief chat after junior training on Tuesday 4 June - feedback from
this event and how the organisation can be shared out a bit more next year now
that we know it can be a success.
Also to note that Valley Striders are
organising the Meanwood Trail Races on Saturday 15 September this year. There won't be junior races because of the
logistics of car parking and timing, but we do hope that many parents (and
juniors) will volunteer to help and that will allow some more of our senior
runners to take part rather than marshal.
York
Track and Field
For those who want to try track and field but
don't want to get stuck in rush hour traffic on a Wednesday evening on the M1
or M621, we recommend the York Summer League.
We also recommend it for the West Yorkshire die-hards too!
There are 4 meetings in total, just one has
taken place. Josie Pawley went to this and
Graham said "It was good. Good location with a covered stand to keep you
dry (or cool) and friendly organisation. Mixed abilities so even slower runners
would enjoy it and not feel out of their comfort zone".
The 3 meetings to go are all at weekends, all
have a full programme of events and athletes can choose to take part in up to 3
events at each meeting (unlike West Yorks evening meetings when most age-groups
only have 2 events available).
Dates are Saturday 2 June, Saturday 16 June
and Sunday 15 July. You don't have to
enter all, you just enter one at a time, £2.50 per event (pre-entry), max 3
events per meeting (2 track 1 field or 1 track 2 field), can do different
events at different meetings.
I am happy to send all the entry forms for 2
June, just let me know by 8pm Tuesday 29 May including which events you intend
to take part in (we will be at GSAL that evening and between 7pm and 8pm can
practice the field events you've selected).

Navigation
for beginners and improvers sessions available for Striders! (from Simon Vallance)
Do you have little or no experience of using
an OS map and compass and would like to learn more? Or you may know the basics in theory but
haven't really practiced, especially running on a bearing in low visibility in
open country.
Perhaps there are off-road races you fancy
trying but they require you to carry a map and compass, and you are worried you
might actually have to use them! Or
maybe you have run in such races just following others and hoping for the best!
Mick Loftus and Simon Vallance are offering
two navigation lessons, one for complete beginners and one for 'improvers'. If
you wish, you could do both. The
beginner session would be at and around Leos and the improver one at Ilkley.
The first session will be on the first Tuesday in June, the second, on a Tuesday
in July (date to be agreed).
To help you decide which session to go for,
the beginner session would cover:
- Introducing OS Maps
- Scales and key symbols
- Linear features
- Distance measurement on the map
- Setting the map using features
- Introducing the compass
- Setting the map using compass
- Using linear features and 'handrails'
- Taking and using a bearing
The improver session would cover:
- OS and Harvey's Maps, and more symbols
- Contours and contour features
- Distance estimation on the ground (pacing and timing)
- Using bearings
- Off path navigation
- Catch features, attack points, bearing off
If you are interested please email Mick at [email protected] letting us know which session you would like
to attend. Alternatively you can join the events on the VS AC page.
Pudsey
Junior Race and Eccup Junior Races
Pudsey is on 17 June, details and entries via
https://www.runbritain.com/races?keyword=pudsey
Eccup is on 1 July, details and entries via www.racebest.com .
For most juniors, the VS membership fee for 1
Sep 2017 to 31 Aug 2018 included some race entry fees. We have already paid for Peco race and Peco
relays. Pudsey and Eccup are the final
two races in this offer but we have no way of paying these fees on your behalf
so IF YOU RUN we will deduct them from your 2018/19 membership fee when it is
due this coming September.

RESULTS
Sheffield
Half Marathon
Chris Sawyer emailed "my result from
Sheffield Half Marathon on 8 April was
Posn 1040 Gun Time 1:45:30 Chip Time 1:44:49
There are no Valley Striders listed amongst
the results – not even me. I am sure there were other Striders at the event. I
think the explanation is that if you buy a season ticket for the Run For All
Events your club details are not recorded in the results.
If anyone else ran, please reply to the
vsupdate account so we can include your result in the "Any Other
Half" category of VSGP.

Junior
Mile Races and Club Handicap
58 juniors and 4 adults ran the mile, 39
adults ran the 5 mile, results in the next edition
Howgills
Trail Marathon (from Kim Spence)
I took part in the Howgills Trail Marathon on
Sunday and I was first female in 4 hours 31 minutes
Apart from the Everest Marathon in November
(which doesn't count as a proper race....) it is the first marathon since
Cortina in Italy 3 years ago! After
taking a bit of time out and then struggling with injuries last year I finally
feel like I am making progress again although still not back to where I was.
Clive Bandy suggested I do Howgills as I
wanted to do a marathon before we head out to the Alps in July for the Eiger
Marathon. Clive took part in the half
marathon and although only half the distance it had all of the tough climbs of
the marathon! It is classed as a trail
race but I would say it is more like a fell race and unlike the Burnsall Half
Marathon which I took part in a few weeks ago which I would say is perfect for
a newbie off road runner I wouldn't suggest tackling Howgills until you are
pretty comfortable running off road. I
think I paced the race quite well and I was probably over cautious to start
with as I was conscious that I didn't want to blow up.....most people go
through a bad patch at some point during a marathon and I had mine at the half
way point. My legs felt really heavy and
when we hit a long road section where I thought I would pick up the pace I
seemed to get slower...... I overtook the first female at about the ten mile
mark but it wasn't long before she passed me again.
The first food stop wasn't until 14 miles and
the first female didn't stop but I made sure I had a couple of cups of coke
which seemed to perk me up and I went past her again at about 17 miles and
managed to get stronger as the race went on.
The running was quite fast after this until about 3 miles to go when we
had to go up a really steep climb....not what the legs want and my lack of
training in the big hills became apparent at this point! But thankfully I managed to keep going and
took the lead by over 8 minutes in the end.
Perfect weather and stunning views of the
Howgills and Lakes.
