Q: how many runners can you fit in changing room 4?

A: around 70! 

That was how we started our new year in January, including sixteen guest members that night. Our Off the Starting blocks programme has been popular with new and returning runners and they're making great progress towards their 5k goal under the supportive guidance of Anna, Donna and Pam.

The rest of us have been enjoying a mix of out and backs, Shortwood switchbacks and the first friendly one mile time trial of the year, where forty runners started the competition to win the coveted trophy. 

The next friendly time trial opportunity is 8th April, a week before our U&C birthday run, and so run leaders are getting their heads together shortly to plan for those lighter evenings. We'll be reintroducing some different routes and sessions. Any ideas or requests for sessions then please let us know.
