New Beginnings, challenges and footwear

New Term, new starters, new goals and for some, new trainers....naming no names (Janet). It is really great to see some new members coming along and the progress that last sessions beginners have made. To anyone who still wishes to come along but feels they may have missed out we now, thanks to Jillian have a regular beginners group alongside the advanced beginners every week. We also have a group on the Thursday which runs (no pun intended!) alongside the intermediate group for those who wish a more steady run out and back. You are free to waft between groups week by week as you feel the need. This is dependant on how many leaders we have week by week so thank you for your tolerance. As always please give us feedback before any issues develop. If you are needing motivation of the technical kind this running App is apparently a helpful tool...doesn't actually do the running for you but does buddy you along!
We are still trying to take advantage of the light nights by getting out and about for the sessions with as much running as possible before we become more confined to the town. Now is the time to make a head torch purchase if you haven't already...no good waiting for Father christmas to bring you one.

DESTINATION CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE...Participation by no means compulsory, would be nice to get as many as possible on board though!
So...18 weeks until Christmas
1. Roughly work out what you would like your weekly running/cycling total to be.
2. Multiply by 18 (weeks till christmas)
3. Find a destination roughly that distance from home and tell us where you are off to!
4. Keep a track of your mileage and share with us where you are on your journey....(if you get an injury and /or a note from your Dr, physic and mum signed in triplicate we may consider allowing you to hop on a bus for a few miles...)

EXAMPLE
I am going to Kirkwall and so 300 miles divided by 18 = 16 miles a week. tonight I did 3 miles and so am three miles from my house round about Argyll Adventure Road end....

ANOTHER EXAMPLE
Average weekly Mileage=5 miles times 18= 90 miles=Inveraray to Fort William.

There was some interest in hosting a 10/5k of our own sometime. If anyone is interested in this can they get in touch and we shall see how it goes.

Finally good luck to Craig this weekend at the Craggy Island Triathlon...the first of the Wild swimmers to take part in a water event...have fun!
