Paddock Wood Half Good luck to all Chasers taking part in the Paddock Wood Half Marathon on Sunday! For those signed up to take the coach, we'll be leaving from outside Talacre promptly at 06:50, so please do be on time! Please take a COVID lateral flow test on Saturday and please don't come if you have COVID symptoms, have a positive test or have been told to self-isolate. Track Thursday Tonight's track session is: 3 x 1600m (10k pace) [3 min]. Click here to sign up. Track is deliberately lighter this week as many people will be racing Paddock Wood. If you’re not, speak to Lauren at the beginning and the session can be adapted if needed. Saturday Morning Track As coronavirus rules are lifting and parkrun has restarted, we're are ending the official club Saturday morning track sessions. John Armstrong will continue to regularly train on Saturday mornings and hopes that others will join him, but we have not been able to come to an agreement with the City of London on a way for the club to continue to pay for sessions which the club can afford. So for future Saturday morning training you will either need a season ticket or will need to pay for your session. Autumn Beginners Course 18 places on our autumn beginners course have already been snapped up! If anyone you know is interested - please direct them to this link to sign up for the waitlist. Chasers Summer Picnic The summer picnic took place on Sunday at the Heath. Thank you to Henry for organising the event. The choice of red wine blend went down particularly well as did the copious amount of soft cheese. There was a lot of dancing but as far as we are aware, everyone remained injury free except for a ridiculous number of mosquito bites. Rebecca won the planking competition crown outwitting the competition with her superior core strength even after an 18 mile run that morning!
