Andy Neale relays @ Knavesmire Woods, near the intersection of Knavesmire Road and Tadcaster Road

Tickets

Aug 28 @ 6:30 pm

On Thursday 28th August we will be holding the Andy Neale relays, in memory of our former team manager and coach who sadly died in 2018.The relays will be open to all club members of all standards with teams picked on the night based on handicaps, etc. So everyone has a good chance of coming away with the spoils! We will meet at 6.30 and the meeting location is at the corner of the wooded area where Knavesmire Road meets Tadcaster Road – basically across the road from Hamilton Panthers clubhouse.

The relays will be teams of 3 formed on the night based on everyone’s 10k time which allows for an even playing field. We will have our usual end-of-the-month social in the Fox and Roman pub afterwards. This will replace the usual social run for that week.

In past years we have had a fantastic club turn out from newer members to older members and it would be fabulous to see the same this year! So whatever your ability please come down to the Knavesmire for a hopefully fine summer evening of running! All you need to do to take part is turn up on the night!

Thursday Threshold Session @ Hamilton Panthers ( Outside )

Tickets

Sep 4 @ 6:30 pm

Weekly threshold sessions to commence Thursday 10th April, Knavesmire Road, 18:30 at (Hamilton Panthers).

Sessions will run from April until September and are designed to improve the body’s ability to buffer the build-up of lactic acid.

This particular training format assists with incremental improvements in endurance speed, particularly when employed regularly and made part of a structured training schedule.

These sessions involve repeated efforts at a comfortably hard pace over a measured mile and one-kilometre course, linked with appropriate recovery periods and warm-up/warm-down time.

Yours in running,
Richard Gott / CIRF
