Derek Smith 3000m Our Derek Smith 3000m race took place at Parliament Hill Track on Saturday. Well done to everyone who took part, especially given the challenging conditions. Fantastic times all round including many PBs. Special thanks go to co-organisers Sarah Funderburk and John Armstrong along with our officials, marshals and supporters! Track Thursday For this week's session, you'll be continuing to hone in on that faster 3k pace as we start our Golden Stag mile schedule. The session is 6-8 x {600m (3k pace) [3 min]}. Total 3600-4800m Remember that consistency is key. Don't go all out on the first reps and then die off. For those still buzzing from the weekend, remember... “People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing - that’s why we recommend it daily.” ~ Zig Ziglar Sri Chinmoy 5k A number of Chasers have signed up for the Sri Chinmoy 5k on Monday 7 June at 7pm. It's a fast flat course around Battersea Park. Our new training schedule suggests you either race Parkrun when it (hopefully) restarts on 5 June, or do this race instead. Book now if you fancy doing this race because places are limited to 200. It's a £6 entry fee. Virtual Pilates Class Pilates led by Danielle Smreczak take place on Mondays at 6pm. Connection details will be shared on Facebook in advance. The recording for this week is available here Fundraising Please email newsletter@chaser.me.uk if you would like your running event fundraising link to be added to the newsletter.
