Saturday 28th January 2017 - Prestbury Lollipop

22 hardy E groupers met at Riverside Car Park for a very soggy muddy 4 mile Prestbury Lollipop.
Some fantastic self organised looping today!  Very impressive!  We split at the end so that those who needed to rush off could do so and the others could do a few hill reps as an added bonus!
We were all a bit cold & soggy to do coffee today!
Well run everyone - hope the poorly knee is OK Caroline (& Pat - v sensible not to carry on with the reps).  My phone doesn't like rain so not many photos today, sorry!
Dawn, Linsdey & Lou Lou








lots of mud mincing today!






sign of a good run!

Saturday 21st January 2017 - Club Champs - Park Run Astbury

11 E groupers met at Astbury Mere for the club champs parkrun on a chilly & slightly icy morning.  Very well done to all - 8 PBs achieved today including some great reductions in 5K time from our recent C25K graduates.   It was a bit nippy to hang around for photos but a few had a quick celebratory coffee from the van.  Thanks to Louise for being chief photographer - lots of photos on Facebook - here are a few, apologies if we missed you!.

Saturday 14th January 2017 - Sutton Loop with Reservoir

This morning 27 E Group runners met to run the every popular Sutton Loop including the reservoir. With a prompt warm up led by Damian, the group headed down the canal to Fools Nook with looping where possible along the muddy banks. This gave us a perfect chance to stretch our legs and warm up in the chilly conditions. The pace was good along this part of the route.

After a quick picture opportunity, we headed up Radcliffe Road and along Leek Old Road to the reservoir, it was a little muddy along the path! We then headed back along Parvey Lane and down Bullocks Lane to the Garden Centre for a good stretch and then coffee for those who could make it.

See you next week!

Saturday 7th January 2017 - Kerridge Loop

This morning, 34 E Group runners met at Clough Bank car park to take on the Kerridge Loop. After a warm up led by Lindsey, we headed down the Middewood towards Bollington, and up onto the canal. We then took the canal down to AZ where we passed the horses and found ourselves at the foot of 'Neil's Hill'....we also found most of the morning traffic in Bollington on the hill!

We completed the pyramid reps which included 15, 30, 45, 30 and 15 seconds, there was a good effort from everyone, this isn't easy after Christmas and New Year!

We then headed back towards the Middlewood for a lovely treat, the timed 1km. Well done everyone, this is never easy, especially in the mist (and you can't see the bridges and the finish line!). We then enjoyed a gentle jog back to the cars.

Times to follow.....
