Mornington Chasers Newsletter
3 January 2025
Happy New Year Chasers!
I hope you all had a lovely holiday season, filled with festive "carb loading" and a good old rest.
I would like to start off the New Year Newsletter with some shout outs to Chasers who braved the Christmas wind and rain to achieve some pretty fantistic things:
Shout out to Rebecca Taylor for winning the Velopark Run Through 5k on 21st December, I hear on the back of a stonking cold too. No mean feat! Congratulations
Congratulations to Izzy Gelder for Coming second in the Boxing Day Round the Walls Race in Chester!
As you know with the Chasers, it’s definitely not all about the podium places, so a huge shout out to all those who managed some festive Parkrun milestones:
Marcos' 300th
Mikes's 250th
Stephen’s 200th
Ellie’s 150th
Juliette’s 50th of the year
New year, New Track
Why not make attending track your New Year’s resolution? The sessions are currently geared towards the 10k club champs (Mornington Chasers’ Regent’s Park Winter Series, Sunday 2nd February). The sessions are free to attend with a club membership and they are all lead by a coach. If you haven’t tried interval training before, this is an excellent introduction. The sessions are very inclusive and you can run at your own pace. If you are worried about the distance or speed, talk to the coach at the start and they will suggest a shorter session for you.
When: 7pm on Thursdays for warm up for a 7.15pm start.
Where: Parliament Hill Track
Check the Calendar or the WhatsApp Announcements group for more details about the session each week.
February 10k Winter Series Volunteers
Thanks to all the volunteers at the Regents Park Winter 10k Series so far! We have a full roster for January (despite the Arctic conditions!), but we still need 6 more people for Sunday February 2nd. It will be a great atmosphere with lots of Chasers running, since this is the chosen race for the club 10k champs. If you are not running, please consider signing up to marshal here.
Cross Country
LOTS of cross country ahead in January and February! Do check the calendar and sign up to run! The weather may be cold but the Chaser spirit will warm you, so pick up your spikes and come along.
Finally, the Tuesday Talacre runs will restart on 7th January (next Tuesday!).
Have a great week.
