The Week Ahead 21 November 2011
22/11/2011 by Dick.
It seems like months and months since we last did Elm Road. I think that’s probably because it is months and months. Anyway it’s a good effective session with its down and up bits to increase your cadence and strength, not to mention your general running fitness.
It seems like the best part of a year since the last AGM, and that’s probably … Starts at 8 in the LC Bar, with a buffet available well before, but enough for all - including those who want to get their training in first and arrive red-faced at 7.59.
So training starts early at 6.30 for the Talk of the Town run, and the gun for the Severn Bridge 5k will fire at 6.45. Might be worth sharing cars down there to save time.
This year’s AGM promises to be a lot shorter than some, with just the new Club Constitution to be discussed. An important subject though, and one that all Club members should have a say about.
Jane, Lou and Stuart for Wales!
21/10/2011 by Dick.
Congratulations to Jane Horler, Lou Summers and Stuart Penny for being selected to run for Wales in the Home Country’s Masters Cross Country in Glasgow on 20 November.
Stuart has run for Wales in previous years, as has Sue Ashton and Syd Wheeler.
This a great honour for them and the Club and we wish them well.

Olympics Tickets Draw
05/09/2011 by Dick.
Today is the closing day for applying to join the ballot for the Club allocation of four pairs of Olympics athletics. So if you haven’t yet sent me your name for inclusion in the draw, please do so before midnight tonight.
We originally thought we’d do the draw tomorrow but as a lot of members are doing the Rose Inn relay, we’ll do it on Thursday before the Three Woods run.
Most applicants have applied for all four sessions, but we expect that some people have a preference. So you are advised to come along on Thursday to have the chance to maybe arrange a swap with someone.
We’ll also be drawing some reserve names in the event that one or more of the four original winners of these Club tickets find that they can’t get to the games.

Week Ahead 30th August 2011
30/08/2011 by Lou.
Tonight’s speed session is a 3k time trail at Beachley Track. Cars will leave the leisure centre after announcements by Niki. Us wanting to jog over will leave promptly to arrive after the track warm up for the 3k.
Thursday’s run is a shortened version of the St. Arvans MT 10 - through the Piecefield Park, Porthcasseg Farm, Fedw Woods, Chep Park Woods, down the hill into St. Arvans and back.
Gill and Dick are still looking for more runners for the White Horse Relay this Sunday - legs are between 5 - 10 miles - drive about 45 mins.
If you are available please let either Gill or Dick know - ideally you would recce your leg but otherwise there is a virtual route available http://www.whitehorserelay.org/
Dick can be contacted on 627569, 07828102680 or dickfinch@talktalk.net or reply on the bulletin board or leave a message here.
Iron Mountain 7 mile trail run
28/08/2011 by Lou.
Bank Holiday Monday Run?
Sorry if this is up somewhere else - just back from the Gower and this looks good for tomorrow - an email from Chris Vorres
“Hi
A few of us are going to do the Iron Mountain Trail on Monday as there is no Machen run.
The name refers to the industry in the area – Blaenafon – not the challenge!
We will meet at Midday, at the Keepers Pond, Blaenafon, and then afterwards pop into the Lamb and Fox for a drink.
It’s a stunning trail, very runnable. Some climb, but at a diagonal so not too steep.
Must stress, this is not an official race – I have not applied for insurance etc….
Please forward this to anyone you think may enjoy the run – I will go out earlier in the day and put out some flour blobs to mark it, but it isn’t really necessary as it’s a well-marked trail. The map attached contains lots of info about it.

Cheers,
Chris. ”
The run is 7 miles - Drive there about 30 - 45 mins from Chepstow
