Last weekend and next....and beyond

The Mid Argyll triathlon is now behind us with members Fee (1:28:21 3rd FV), Freya, (1:30:28 1st FJ)  Toby (1:14:56 1st MJ and fastest T2), Rosie (1:54:45) and Garret(1:23:00) taking part in a fabulous event. Next up is the Nottingham half marathon for Penny and the Inverness marathon for Kirsten. Good luck both...and photos please! Keep and eye out for the Tin Farm 5 on the 4th November...a good on road/off road race at Ormsary. Another good series is at Oban on the 7th October with a 5k,10k and 1/2 marathon. Details and links are on Facebook.

Small 6pm group in the drizzle last night...for any wanting to catch up we did 2 miles of Fartlek after a warm up. Thanks Penny, Iona and Jillian for your company.Fartlek running is fast/slow/fast/slow at a pace and increase of pace suitable to you. Total distance 2.7 miles
7pm group braved the rain and a good brisk run followed by hill work and a short burst of pyramid running. Total distance 3.8 miles. Head torches definitely required now.

 

I am hoping to hold another Glow in The Dark run on Friday 9th November as a fund raiser for the Chemotherapy unit at Mid Argyll Hospital. This will be two guided runs and a walk...I would like to do something afterwards and am open to suggestions...i.e. soup and cakes (anyone know how much the Nicholl Hall is to let?)...or a curry at The George ( might be an issue guaranteeing numbers?) ...or ??? Volunteers to lead/ support the group runs would be appreciated. The idea is a run not a race.....Comments please?!

Windy, Rainy but strangely fun!

 Firstly a massive well done to the intrepid souls who joined in last night in what can only be described as challenging conditions! The 6pm group did intervals, some good running and got a wee introduction to winter circuits in the car park...cones were not in use due to high wind factor!! 7pm group got lucky and did Hill sprints under the trees and then a very soggy run round and home in good time.

Invitation From Kerry: three weeks of free yoga

My humble apologies for the late notice, but I do hope some of you can attend.

Please let me know as I may have to limit places depending on the interest.

I am running yoga sessions on the next 3 tuesdays, 18th, 25th sep and 2 oct.

1.30-2.45pm.   Lochgilphead Community Centre. 

As before it will be a practice class as part of my teacher training course so attendees are coming along on a voluntary basis.

Bring a mat, blocks, blanket etc if you can. I only have one spare yoga mat at the moment.

For those of you who can't attend a daytime class, I do plan to run some yoga in the evening/weekends at some point but my availability prevents that at the moment.

I am doing my teacher training at Balance in Glasgow and am working hard to achieve their high standards. I have just been on a week's retreat with my trainer in Spain. It is a big commitment. The training takes a year and a quarter and I am due to finish next June.  I will need plenty of practice between now and then!

Love Kerry

 Message From Fee!!!
I am looking for jogleaders to help the group with its expansion and development especially as we are losing Toby to Stathclyde this weekend. The training is just a day next February, I have applied for funding towards the cost, it is heavily subsidised by the Council and there is no pressure to be the fastest or the fittest (clearly!!) just to have an enthusiasm for running. Having more leaders will make sure that we can respond to everyone's needs and maybe expand into different directions when we are ready. So please have a think, it will not mean that you are tied into every week especially if we can get four or five new leaders .I have three at present interested so let me know if you are too!

Intervals and Mile Trials

Thanks for a good session on Thursdays all you 6pm folk...and welcome to the group Lorna. Not so much mileage but interval sessions are great ways of building up your running stamina. Homework is to get out at least once if not twice and do some walk/run at a level you feel comfortable at. Try not to let the walk bits drag too long...set a time limit i.e. 30s or start running again as soon as your breathing allows. Remember the warm up and cool down and the STRETCHES!! Any issues please get in touch as usual.

No map for the 7pm group as Toby took this session, thanks to him for helping me out there. The Mile trial (was the winter one due to miscommunications so I have used the winter times for comparison). It appears that we have not dome this mile since February 2011.... Well done Moira for putting in such a great time at her first Trial, welcome to the Group Celene and well done for surviving (I hope) a tough session to start on. Look at those PBs! Linda's was the closest with a second better, every bit counts, Jackie's at 1 minute and 28 seconds was fantastic as is Toby's at just shy of two minutes, and Fiona just under the minute. well done all
