Looking back at his previous parkrun results could be his best or one of his best times.  Well done Chris.

TRAINING BACK ON

Just a reminder training is back on.

We started back on Wednesday last week with a small number of athletes.  The Saturday sessions have been cancelled last few weeks due no takers or low numbers.  We will keep you all posted about this Saturday's session.  Keep an eye on the blog and facebook group.

Remember you need to be invited by email to join the facebook group. So if you want to keep in the know then drop me email to take care of it.
