Arrival from 18.30. Place your money (£4) in the tin when you arrive. Toilets are available. There is space to leave jackets, drinks etc. Feel free to jog around or have a chat. The session will begin at 18:45.

Directions
If you follow Google Maps to Spinkhill Athletics Track, it will take you through a one-way system to a small dimly lit car park near the track. If you don’t fancy the windy road, you can also park in the college car park. Please note, the small road down to the track is not one way.

More details here :

The whole session will be fully inclusive of runners of all abilities, structured using a whistle to indicate when to start and finish efforts so all are welcome! For those of you who like to plan ahead, we will be
completing the following…

  • 18:45 – Warm up. Jog around the track.
  • 19:00 – Session
  • 2 x 4 minutes (2 minute recovery)
  • 2 x 2 minutes (60 seconds recovery)
  • 2 x 1 minute (45 seconds recovery)
  • 2 x 30 seconds (30 second recovery)
  • 19:30 – Cool down

We have the track until 19.45, so you are free to continue using it after the session until then. It would be advised to jog at least 3 laps afterwards to cool down.

Enjoy!!

Defibrillator demonstration event

Hi Everyone,

The club is hosting a defibrillator demonstration event at the West End Hotel on Thursday 5th September at 8pm lasting around an hour.  

The event will cover the basics of how to use a defib, what steps to take during a cardiac arrest, and provide hands-on practice with a dummy defibrillator and CPR. The evening is aimed at people, such as myself who wouldn’t have a clue what to do in the event of an emergency. 

Its completely free to attend, you can have a pint and attending a defib demo is probably the most selfless thing you could ever do as you’ll never perform CPR on yourself.

The demo will be quite basic for anyone who is medically trained but everyone is welcome to watch and have a pint together.

Thanks

**Round Rotherham Run 2024** *5th October*

Hi everyone – it’s that time again! Please can you let me know if you want to join a team for the RRR 2024. For anyone new the RRR is a 50 mile run over 8 stages all of around 10k each. Starting and finishing at Manvers Lake. We need 8 people per team both men and women. Last 2 years we entered 3 teams – let’s try and beat that this year!

We will probably run at least 1 “Competitive” team and 2 Fun teams to try and suit everyone. The RRR is UNMARSHALLED which means you need to learn your leg beforehand so we need to decide teams in plenty of time so we can agree legs and do the reccies. Please can you let me know if you are interested and if you want to be competitive or fun. Any questions please see me or any of the committee at Club night.
