As from Thursday 22nd September we’ll be using our winter training sessions. These meet as follows:
Monday: 6.30pm Coop car park High Street
Thursday: 7.00pm Coop car park High Street
Track sessions continue as usual.
2nd and 4th Wednesdays of month: 6.50pm Lewes Leisure Centre, pay at reception.
A small and determined group braved the weather at Lewes last night for a track session.
Fortunately everyone was running the same session so we all stayed (roughly) together.
For the record, this is who was there and what we did.

With apologies from Paul and Teresa.
We ran a simple introductory session of 8x800m with easy 400m recoveries.
We aimed to run each 800 in 4 minutes (this was about 10k race pace for each runner).
The purpose of this session was to get used to running at a consistent pace and to increase speed endurance by running at threshold (tempo) pace.
The session gave us a good basis for developing further sessions for the runners.
Next session will be 15th December — all members welcome.
If we get a few more I might be able to negotiate a group discount.
Thursday sessions are steady runs until further notice — no intervals or hill training until further notice.
Meets Rugby Club at 6.45pm.
Time trials continue on usual summer course on first Thursdays.
Monday evening sessions move from Coop car park to rugby Club from 12th April.
Sunday 7th Feb
Meet at Beachy Head car park for an 11.00 start. Rosie and Paul will be there and will be leaving vehicles at Bo–Peep and at Itford to ferry people back afterwards. If there are any others who suddenly decide they want to come along please feel free , the more the merrier. If any one has problem with getting to meet, let Paul or Rosie know and we can arrange to pick up on route.
