For those not on FB Well it seems by the number of comments the Striders 5k mini league proposal is going to be well supported. Given the potential numbers the plan is to now have a male and female league. The next stage is all those wishing to take part confirm their initial 5k handicap time by emailing stocktonstriders@gmail.com. Times need to be submitted by 8pm on the 8th April please. If unsure what your current time is you could always have a few practice runs between now and Thursday. Round 1 of 7 starts next Saturday (10th). A reminder will be posted through the week. Thanks all and hope you have a happy Easter. Andy J

As you know F2F sessions will re-commence this Thursday (1st) adopting the rule of six in the interim (see earlier posts for further details). In addition to the traditional groups in the short term we are also trialling a 7th group, ‘walk to run’. As the title suggests this group’s session will be a mixture of running and walking (eg run 7 mins, walk 3 mins, run 8 mins walk 2 mins etc). It is aimed at members who for whatever reason have not been able to run as much as they would have liked during lockdown. The pace will be very much a social one and the session will focus on building members running confidence. Group 7 will meet under the Striders badge on the wall outside the clubhouse. If the…

Run a hard effort up the hill and jog down for recovery. Have a 2 minute recovery either walking or a very slow jog. Repeat this 4 times so you are doing 5 x 5 minutes of hills. Remember to warm up and cool down before and after your session. Enjoy!
