Saturday 24 July 2010 run programme

July 22nd, 2010

Hi Funrunners, hope you had a good week, here is the weekly update!

Good luck to our runners doing the Sutherland to Surf this weekend – 11Ks of undulating hills – always a fast finish but watch out for that final uphill!

The 8.00 walkers and 5km funrunners are meeting as usual this Saturday and brekky is always on at the van afterwards!!

Also, this Saturday  we only have 2 more runs till City to Surf, there is a 13km training run up Heart break hill which leaves at 8.00 with Wayne’s group and then the following Sunday 25th July is Sutherland to Surf which is 11km and then Sat 1st August is the last run up Heart break hill and then its City to Surf on 8th August which is 14km.

So, training on Monday nights is HILL training with Wayne and wasn’t it fun last Monday on “Wallis Street” in Woollahra, well done guys, I certainly felt those hills in my legs on Tuesday!!

And Thursday night funruns are back on, meeting at 6.30 for a 5km loop around the streets!

And last but not least, our coach Wayne Morgan is off to Cologne on Tuesday 27th July to compete in the games (Good luck Wayne!!), so Peter Good will be taking Monday night training on Monday 2nd August, Monday 9th August and Monday 16th August.   Peter is a qualified, level 3 running coach and trains the trackrunners, so we look forward to getting some new training tips!!  We will still meet at Centennial Park gates at 6.30 as usual and Peter will direct us to where the training will be held. Thanks Pete!!

Have a good run everyone, and don’t forget, we “Run for Fun”.

Happy and safe running!!
Cheers.
