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.

Morning Striders,  No formal sessions tonight as it’s our Summer pub run... same idea as the Christmas pub run only without the Christmas fancy dress. If anyone wants to wear summer fancy dress, Hawaiian shirts etc, feel free. Meet at the Talpore at 6:30. We’ll be running to the Hope and Union, Dubliners and back to the Talpore. No £1’s due but don’t forget some pennies for drinks 🌞🍻 It’s about 3.5 miles in total all ran at a nice social pace with nobody left to run alone. 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Tuesday is our Summer pub run... same idea as the Christmas pub run without the Christmas fancy dress.... unless 🤔.... Meet at the Talpore at 6:30. We’ll be running to the Hope and Union, Dubliners and back to the Talpore. Hopefully we’ll get nice sunny weather. No £1’s due but don’t forget some pennies for drinks 🌞🍻 If anyone wants to wear summer fancy dress... Hawaiian shirts etc feel free. I think it’s about 4 miles in total.... Unfortunately I’ve not managed a recce to get the exact length as, for some reason, I’ve hardly been able to walk this week. All ran at a nice social pace with nobody running alone. 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️👍
