Tomorrow night’s training (Tuesday 10 September)

Training
Due to another event at the football club tomorrow night we will be meeting at Ropner Park bandstand.  There will be no formal sessions instead we will be doing some plogging - a combination of running and litter picking. While I’m sure none of us drop litter it’s still a great opportunity to give something back to our local area.  It’ll be a team competition which will be explained more tomorrow. All necessary equipment has been provided by Stockton Council. While I’m sure there will be lots of Great Tees 10k and GNR tops on display, it would be great if people could wear Striders tops and let everyone see that it’s us doing this. https://www.runnersworld.com/uk/training/motivation/a776063/plogging-the-new-running-craze-that-is-saving-the-planet/

10 August parkrun report

Training
Sarah Winter, Helen Mcilvenny and Kay Stokes made it a Striders 1,2,3 at the barrage on Saturday. Sarah took a tumble halfway round but got up, dusted herself down, and went on to lead the ladies home. Good work Sarah. Helen continued her good form but it was Kay who was breaking records. A new pb was achieved along with a stunning age grading of 82.67%. This moved her up to 15th on the all-time age grading league for the barrage. Great stuff Kay. Robert Parker also got a new pb. Andy J and Julia C helped out with volunteering. Dave Fender failed his fitness test and didn't run. A couple of concerns were raised at the post run drinks at the Talpore. Firstly about Ben Robinson. Ben's mind was…
