Parkruns for Club Championship
23/01/2012 by James.
As everyone should know by now (and here’s a reminder), one of the optional races for this year’s Club Champs is any Parkrun 5k throughout the year. And as there are loads of them - all over the world now in fact - and I can’t check them all every weekend:
If you want your parkrun time counted in the club championship then you must email me at stats@chepstowharriers.org.uk with the place and date that you ran (so I can find you in the results), or simply provide a link to the parkrun results website. If you don’t and I don’t know that you have run, then you won’t be included in the results. It would also help if you let me know fairly soon after you have run, as it would be a pain to correct the results retrospectively (i.e. we don’t want people in November saying they did a parkrun back in March).
I will put this message on the Bulletin Board and the Club Champs page as well.
Thanks, James
PS If you’ve run at the FoD, Newport, Cardiff or Colwick since the start of the year, then you don’t need to email me as I’ve got all your times down.

Kymin Race - January Club Championship
03/01/2012 by Vanessa.
Reminder:
the Kymin race, January’s club championship race, is this SATURDAY 7th (not Sunday 8th)
Meet at LC 12.30 to share transport to Monmouth or meet directly there, at the registration at Monmouth School’s Sport Centre, near Lidl.
NB this is not the same as Monmouth Leisure Centre, it’s on the same side of the river as Lidl, right at the Lidl roundabout and then first left.
Start 2pm, cost £3 on the day only.
Please add your name below if you plan to go to the LC
The Week Ahead 2 Jan 2012
02/01/2012 by Dick.
The New Year starts with Mark Harvey as January’s Coach.
Not far to travel for the first Tuesday session – the Danes Loop.
Then Thursday is a choice of the Club 10 (St Arvans/Devauden/Itton) or a Tour of the Town for those wanting a 6-miler. And we’re still offering the 10×400 metres speed session on the Bridge for those who miss the Tuesday speedwork.
Important race on Saturday – the first Club Champs race of the 2012 campaign. The Kymin hill race is a friendly enter-on-the-day local race, less than four miles and only £3. HQ is Monmouth Boys School Sports Centre. Meet at our Leis Ctre at 12.30 for the 2pm start.
Final Parkrun opportunity
29/12/2011 by Vanessa.
Final Parkrun of 2011 on Saturday 31st December, 9am from Lakers School, Berry Hill. About 30mins drive from Chepstow.
The Forest of Dean Parkrun is the only one to count towards club championship points so if you have only done 6 events then now is your chance to complete the 2011 championship!!
There is also a 2k Junior Parkrun at 10am.
DON’T FORGET YOUR BARCODE!!
12/12/2011 by Dick.
Tuesday’s session is the 5k Time Trial on the Severn Bridge starting at 7.30. May be a bit breezy but if it’s in your face one way it’ll be in your bottom going the other way.
On Thursday you can choose between the Itton 8 and a special 6 mile run if you’re one of our dear Strivers. Then there’s the usual alternative speed session of 10 x 400 on the Bridge. All wanting to do the Bridge session should post their name in the Comment box below to be sure of some other runners.
Whichever you choose, don’t forget it’s the Christmas meal at the Shangri La.
And finally the last Club Champs monthly race is the Christmas Tree race at Ellwood in the Forest. You can enter on the day and enjoy a scenic off-road 5 miler.

Sospan 10, Sunday 20th November
15/11/2011 by Vanessa.
The November club championship race is this Sunday at Pembrey Country Park, near Llanelli.
The AA website says 1hr 42mins travel so with an 11am start and the fact that people need to pick up numbers etc, I suggest meet at LC being ready to go at 8am.
The Week Ahead 14 November 2011
14/11/2011 by Dick.
On Tuesday it’s the first Danes Loop of the season. A valuable session combining uphill strength with downhill cadence.
And it’s the Sedbury 7 on Thursday.
We’re also offering a regular Thursday speed session on the Severn Bridge as we did last winter. This will be 10 X 400 metres with 200 metres jog recovery based on the first 600 metre section of the bridge. The session will start as soon as we get to the bridge after the jog down, and will be largely self supervised in the usual speed groups.
Finally the November Club Champs race is the Sospan 10 at Pembrey Park on Sunday. Watch for the meeting time in this spot later in the week.
